41 Boko Haram killed in fresh battle in Borno

Attempts by Boko Ha­ram to invade a Borno community on Friday snowballed into a fierce bat­tle with soldiers, leading to the killing of 41 of its fighters, security sources confirmed.
Some Boko Haram on mo­torcycles and a Hilux report­edly stormed Sabon Gari in Damboa Local Government, in the southern part of the state but were confronted by the military who pursued them up to a village where they were engaged in fierce battle. No fewer than 41 of the insurgents were killed, said a military source.
