The Nigerian Army says its troops in the north-eastern part of the country have killed five Boko Haram members. The troops of 3 Battalion, 22 Brigade reportedly ambushed the Boko Haram members on Thursday, June 29, 2017 according to Sani Usman, the spokesperson of the Nigerian Army.
“Based on information, troops Nigerian Army, on Thursday 29th June 2019 evening, ambushed Boko Haram terrorists along Gamboru-Mussini-Logomani that came to loot and burn a broken down truck loaded with assorted goods at Mussini village.

Boko Haram terrorists may have decided to adopt the planting of improvised explosive devices at strategic places and roads in the north-east.
This is proven by recent discoveries made by the Nigerian Army and its troops combating the activities of the terrorists.
