The Nigerian military on Saturday said it has further subdued the extremist Boko Haram sect by killing over 40 of its fighters in three different locations in the North-east zone.


PRNigeria, an agency that distributes press releases for Nigeria’s security agencies, quoted military officials as saying a multi barrel T55 tank, 9 rifles, two machine guns, two rocket-propelled grenade tubes, five boxes of ammunition and other weapons were covered from the terrorists.

Eleven soldiers however died in the attack while 15 others are receiving treatment for various degrees of injury while three others are missing.

The military also claimed it has repelled attacks from splinter cells of the sect in other locations.
The military has in the past two weeks launched an all-out onslaught on the terrorists, killing many while some of them reportedly surrendered to troops.

This week, the military claimed it had killed the group’s leader, popularly known as Abubakar Shekau.

PRNigeria also said that the terrorists have been beaten back in most communities in Borno State.
