A Nigerian Army commander and the troops he was leading prevented Boko Haram terrorists from killing many residents of Mainok on Sunday.
On Monday, the Army confirmed it recorded casualties after forces of Operation Lafiya Dole deployed in the Borno town battled several insurgents.
“One gallant officer and six soldiers paid the supreme sacrifice while 5 other soldiers sustained various degrees of injuries”, said Brigadier General Mohammed Yerima, Director, the spokesman.
The commander and some of his loyal lieutenants were eventually killed after exchanges of gunfire with terrorists for hours.
The terrorists, clad in military uniforms, disguised as friendly forces to sneak into military zones in the town.
