Army Raids Boko Haram Hideout, Kill 13 Terrorist

Nigerian Army says more terrorists have been arrested while 13 of them died following a raid on their make-shift camp sited between Borno and Adamawa states.

Major General Chris Olukolade, Director Defence Information in a statement said some of those who escaped from earlier raid have also been picked up in Maiduguri and environs.

Olukolade said calm has returned to Shuwa after the pandemonium generated by the panic in the community this morning when people sighted the convoy of troops going after terrorists and mistook it for another round of attack.

He added that the confusion also led to the claim that the Governor of Adamawa State, Murtala Nyako who had visited the community was attacked by terrorists. The military authorities have refuted the claim.

The troops were on assignment to block a discovered entry and exit point of terrorists into the country through the state. The community has been assured of their safety as normalcy has returned.
