No fewer than 10 Boko Haram terrorists have been killed by troops of Operation Hadin Kai in Rann, the headquarters of Kala Balge LGA of Borno State, Daily Post reports.

The troops decimated the terrorists during a fierce gun battle on Friday.

A statement by the Director, Army Public Relations, Brigadier General, Mohammed Yerima on Saturday said the terrorists came in their numbers, mounted on gun trucks and attempted to infiltrate the main entrance to the town.

‘The troops chased the retreating terrorist and ensured there was no further threat to the town and its residents.

”Troops successfully destroyed one of the gun trucks and recovered multiple weapons including one anti-aircraft gun, two machine guns and eight AK-47 rifles neutralising ten terrorists in the process,” he added.
