KondogaThe Nigerian Army says it has repelled an attack on Konduga town in Borno State.

The Army said in a statement that at about 5.30 am on Saturday, Boko Haram terrorists launched a massive attack on Konduga town, about 35 kilometres from Maiduguri.

After about three hours of fierce fighting, Nigerian troops routed the Boko Haram fighting force of over a hundred terrorists.

Further to the staggering loss of men, Boko Haram also suffered extensive losses in equipment.

Specifically, three Hilux and one Buffalo vehicles with mounted Anti-aircraft guns, three General Purpose Machine guns, over 30 AK 47 rifles and two global positioning systems have been recovered.

Four Nigerian soldiers were wounded in action.

The entire area is still being combed for terrorists who may have escaped with bullet wounds. Morale of troops remains very high.

Photographs taken at the scene of the battle are being expected and will be forwarded as soon as they are received,” the statement read.
