Troops Kill Boko Haram Kingpin, 6 Others by ijustdey: 7:08am On Apr 27, 2016
Troops of the 7 Brigade, 8 Task Force Division of the Nigerian Army who were on clearance operation around Gratte in Kukawa LGA of Borno State killed seven Boko Haram militants including a notorious kingpin popularly known as the Albani of Monguno, the army said yesterday.

A statement from the army spokesman, Colonel Sani Usman, said the troops also seized two vehicles, seven motorcycles, one AK-47 rifle and two Boko Haram-hoisted flags among other items.

In a related development, the Defence headquarters yesterday alerted members of the public that fleeing remnant of the militants had laid land mines on farm lands in the North- east states.

Defence spokesman, Brigadier General Rabe Abubakar, said in a statement that the militants had adopted the tactic in their desperation to unleash maximum terror on the people.

He said they now operated with horses to carry out attacks on isolated villages and communities along the fringes of the Nigerian borders in the North-east.
