Troops of the Nigerian Army have repelled an attack by Boko Haram terrorists in Rann, Borno State, killing 10 of the terrorists in the process.
Also, the 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.
According to a statement signed on Saturday by Army spokesperson, Brigadier General, Mohammed Yerima, the terrorists came in their numbers mounted on gun trucks and attempted to infiltrate the main entrance to the town.
He said the troops, however, “chased the retreating terrorists and ensured there was no further threat to the town and its residents.”
“The highly spirited troops were right on hand to counter the move and inflicted a humiliating defeat on the terrorists who abandoned their evil mission and took to their heels,” Yerima added.
