Military Kills Top Boko Haram Commanders

The Nigerian Military says it has killed a large number of Boko Haram
terrorists including some of the group's top leaders in combined
operations of the Army and Air Force.
Director of Army Public Relations, Brigadier General Sani Usman, in a
statement on Thursday, said the terrorists were neutralised following
heavy artillery bombardments and air interdictions on registered
targets.
According to Brigadier General Usman, the attacks were carried out
based on received information about the location of some suspected top
Boko Haram terrorist leaders.
"The Nigerian Army artillery using Multi-Barrel Rocket Launchers has
lobbed many rockets over the suspected location the terrorists'
leaders are hiding.
"Video clips obtained on battle damage assessment show clear success
of the exercise. More details of successes achieved will be made
available as the operation continues," the Army spokesman said.
"The key Boko Haram terrorist ameers neutralised within the week
during the joint artillery and Nigerian Air Force air bombardments
include; Abu Dujana, Man Tahiru (Deputy to Boko Haram terrorist group
Hisba leader), Man Chari, Malam Abdullahi (left), Abu Sa'ad (right)
and Goni Bamanga."
Brigadier General Usman said the military would continue with the
concerted onslaught on the reported terrorists' location until they
have been eliminated.
