Troops kill 11 Boko Haram insurgents in Gwoza

At least 11 Boko Haram terrorists were eliminated by the Nigerian troops during a gun duel on Sunday night in Gwoza Local Government Area of Borno State.
An intelligence source told our correspondent that the terrorists were eliminated while attempting to attack troops of 192 Battalion, from the Gwoza Madara mountain with sporadic gunfire.
“The Tango 9 troops responded rapidly, by engaging the terrorists with a high volume of firepower and instantly neutralized some of them, while others were forced to retreat.
“We have counted at least eleven corpses of the terrorists after exploring the general area. With the aid of heavy firing and mortar bombs, troops engaged them at their mountainous den,” the source said.
During the operation, the troops also recovered about a dozen AK-47 rifles, anti-aircraft gun, motorcycles, as well as several other items from the terrorists.
