POLITICS NIGERIA reports that the insurgents who are now also kidnapping civilians and into armed robbery, were killed on Friday afternoon.
Details of this latest onslaught on the enemies of the nation is still sketchy.
A 12-year-old conflict in northeast Nigeria has caused, directly and indirectly, the deaths of some 350,000 people, the vast majority of which are children below the age of five, the United Nations (UN) found in a 2021 report.
The death toll, given by the UN Development Programme (UNDP) in a study at the time on the war and its effect on livelihoods, is 10 times higher than previous estimates of about 35,000 based only on those killed in fighting in Nigeria since violence broke out.
The armed group Boko Haram launched an uprising in 2009 displacing more than two million from their homes and spawning one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises, with millions of people dependent on aid. The conflict shows little sign of ending.
