The Acting Director of Defence Media Operations, Brigadier General Benard Onyeuko, revealed this in a statement on Monday.
He explained that troops of Operation Lafiya Dole had decimated some key Boko Haram insurgents on March 22, 2020.
Onyeuko noted that the soldiers who were conducting a special clearance operation in a subsidiary operation called Operation Ayiso Tamonuma, had an encounter with the terrorists at Gorgi in Damboa Local Government Area of Borno State.
He recalled an earlier press briefing in which the military reported that over 100 insurgents were killed while scores of them escaped with gunshot wounds.
According to the brigadier general, this is in addition to several equipment casualties suffered by the Boko Haram members.
