Top Commander of Boko Haram and fifty-five other militants have been killed during a battle with the Multi-National Joint TaskForce at Malumfatori in Abadam local government area of Borno state.
Reports from the local government said, the insurgents have been battling with military since last week for the control of the area.
A military officer, who was not authorized to speak to the Press said, two soldiers were killed while two others sustained injuries.
Speaking with one of the politician from Abadam, Alhaji Modu Alhaji, he told DAILY POST that the northern Borno area, particularly the Chad basin area had fish and food that have been sustaining the Boko Haram fighters.
“That is why they have been having the power to come out and fight the military, but from what we are hearing, soldiers are gradually pursuing them and closing all the food supply routes. We hope that the soldiers are able to clear them from the area as their presence in that area has affected fish business,” he said.
