Top Boko Haram Leader Killed in Nigeria

KABUL: (Middle East Press) A senior commander of Boko Haram Takfiri militants has been killed by Nigerian security forces during a gun battle in the country’s northeast, said the army’s spokesman.

The clashes took place in the town of Alagarno in Borno State on Tuesday when Boko Haram commander Abu Mojahid was killed, army spokesman Major General Chris Olukolade said on Wednesday.

He said a number of terrorists were also killed as the security forces clashed with the Takfiris, adding that the soldiers had detained rocket-propelled grenades and anti-aircraft guns from the militants.

The army continued its operation to root out Boko Haram militants in Borno State, including the terrorists’ main hub in Sambisa forest, said Olukolade.
