Nigerian troops from 243 Battalion under 5 Brigade Nigerian Army on
patrol, Sunday, engaged some terrorists in a fierce battle, killing four

The terrorists, who descended on a primary school at Duwabafi
village, Borno State, armed with AK 47 rifles, also converted a part of
the school to their logistic materials’ base.
A statement signed by Colonel Sani Usman, Acting Director, Army Public Relations, said the soldiers who were on fighting patrol to rid elements of the terrorists from their camps, encountered the suspected elements holed up at the Primary School at Duwabafi village, Borno State, on Sunday.
