No fewer than 150 suspected members of the outlawed Boko Haram sect were killed by soldiers on Friday during a confrontation in Konduga, about 35 kilometres from Maiduguri, the Borno State capital.
It was learnt that hundreds of terrorists stormed Konduga in the early hours of Friday in a convoy of vehicles and motorcycles, but were resisted by the soldiers.
A member of the local vigilance group, Kolobe Abdullahi, told journalists that the residents could not sleep on Thursday night when they got the hint that insurgents intended to attack the town.
Abdullahi said, “People saw them when they were coming and they were seriously dealt with. As I am telling you, more than 100 of the Boko Haram members were killed and several others were injured.
