According to Colonel Timothy Antigha, deputy director, public relations, some members of Boko Haram attacked troops stationed at Magumeri town, Borno state,\u00a0at 6pm on the day.<\/p>\n

Antigha said as a prelude to the intended attack on the town, the insurgents attempted to dislodge the forward operational base of the army in the area.<\/p>\n

He added that soldiers of the 5th brigade garrison in the town repelled the attack.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe troops fought gallantly. Unfortunately, three soldiers lost their lives, while six others sustained injuries. The bodies of the late soldiers\u00a0and the wounded have been evacuated. The wounded are\u00a0receiving medical attention. Some platforms were also attacked and damaged by the terrorists. Further developments regarding the incident will be communicated accordingly,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
