Army inflicts heavy casualty on Boko Haram

By Steve Oko

The Army, Saturday,  inflicted heavy casualty  on the Boko Haram terrorists who had planned an attack on a military base in Buni Yadi,  Tobe State.

A number of the terrorists fell by  the superior fire power of the military while scores escaped with bullet wounds.

The crushing is coming less than a week after the terrorists attacked the convoy of Borno State Governor killing for persons including two soldiers.

In what appears to be a revenge attack the military has put the terrorists operating around the area  in total disarray.

In a related development, the Army also put Boko Haram fighters on the flight at Jebbra Figi Crossing in Borno State.
