Scores of terrorists suspected to be ISWAP fighters have met their destruction in the hands of Nigerian troops after a failed attempt to free their leaders in a concentration camp located in New Bussa, Niger State.
According to a source, the military had been anticipating the terrorists who met a massive ambush laid for them.
It was said that though the incident happened in the night, the troops had been anticipating such daring moves and have been on high alert as they came into their trap. While at least seven dead bodies of the terrorists were counted , the troops succeeded in arresting one of their commanders who led the fighters.
The source also said that NAF aircraft were also timely in supporting the ground troops from Wawa Military cantonment in Borgu local government area of Niger state, which facilitated the success in decimating the terrorists.
