Suspected local informants were alleged to have leaked movements of Nigerian troops to Boko Haram terrorists after a successful military operation in Alagarno axis of Borno State.

The terrorists used the information provided by their local collaborators to stage an ambush and shot at military logistics trucks conveying fuels and ammunitions in the area, PRNigeria gathered.

The attack on the trucks triggered massive explosions that led to the death of 47 gallant troops of the Nigerian military.
