The military has killed most notorious terrorist commanders,
Abu Mojahid, in a gun battle on the outskirts of Alagarno on Tuesday morning. Many
other insurgents were also killed. Major General Chris Olukolade, Director of
Defence Information said Boko Haram launched a daring attack on troops on
patrol of the area but met their waterloo.
He revealed that in the ensuing gun duel, a number of
insurgents were killed.
"Some rocket-propelled grenades as well as vehicle-mounted
anti-aircraft guns were either captured or destroyed in the encounter," he
stated.
He revealed that improvised explosive devices planted by the
terrorists to frustrate the offensive by soldiers were being cleared, while
troops were advancing into Boko Haram controlled areas.
"The operations, especially in forest locations, are progressing in defiance of obstacles and land mines emplaced by the terrorists," Olukolade said.
