Nigeria’s military has “neutralised” 24 Boko Haram terrorists in coordinated operations in the West African country’s northeast, an army statement said on Thursday.
Nigerian troops backed by air support and local forces eliminated several Boko Haram and ISWAP terrorists in northeastern operations between July 4 and 9, the army wrote on X.
The operations were carried out in the northeastern state of Borno and surrounding regions.
At least nine people were killed and four injured on Sunday in an attack by Boko Haram terrorists on the Malam Fatori community in Borno state.
