The Nigerian Army has dismissed reports of killing of 20 soldiers by Boko Haram/Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) terrorists in the North-East Theatre of Operation Lafiya Dole.
The Director, Army Public Relations, Mohammad Yerima, via a statement issued on Thursday in Abuja, said the information was false.
Mr Yerima, a brigadier-general, described the report by an online medium, titled; “Nigerian Army Keeps Mum As Boko Haram Terrorists Kill ‘20 Soldiers’ In Borno” as false, fake and baseless.
