Men of the Nigerian Army, on Monday morning foiled what would have been a huge catastrophe at an Internally Displaced Persons' Camp in Monguno, Borno state.
The Defence Headquarters says fleeing terrorists now disguise as vigilantes or hunters to evade easy detection in their desperation to wreak havoc on innocent Nigerians and remain relevant.
Troops of 21 Brigade and Civilian Joint Task Force have conducted a fighting patrol to Zangebe, Maiwa, Algaiti and Mainari villages in which 6 Boko Haram terrorists were killed and several others wounded.
A senior US army general, Thomas Waldhauser, has said the Boko Haram terrorist group have fractured internally, with a big group splitting from its leader, Abubakar Shekau.
