Soldiers guarding Mafa and Ajiri Villages and neighbouring villages in Borno State yesterday open fires on Insurgent Boko Haram gunmen as they returned and attempted to attack the villages killing at
least 20 of them.
But instead of retreating, eye witnesses said the Boko Haram members came in their hundreds and engaged the military men in a gun battle.

Fortunately
the military men overpowered them, killed many of them and seized different
calibers of machine guns and improvised explosive devices from them, this is
according to the Director of Defence Information, Maj. Gen Chris Olukolade. He
said some soldiers, who were from the 7th Division of the Nigerian Army in
Maiduguri, were injured in the battle but no soldier was killed.>>>>
"Attempts
by terrorists to attack Ajiri and Mafa as well as other communities in the
outskirt of Maiduguri and Dikwa in Borno State towards the Cameroon borders,
yesterday were foiled by the security forces. The ambush mounted by the
terrorists to enable them unleash terror on the communities unchallenged, was
also cleared by troops on reinforcement mission.
“Arms
captured from the terrorists include various brands of machine guns and
improvised explosive devices. Twenty insurgents died in the encounter, while
our troops sustained varying degree of injuries. Also, more camps were destroyed yesterday in
encounters at various forests and mountain locations around Adamawa and Borno
States,” Olukayode said
