PHOTOS: Nigerian Troops Eliminate Boko Haram Terrorists at Tunkushe

The Nigerian troops have eliminated some Boko Haram fighters in a strategic ambush at Tunkushe village in the northeastern part of Borno state.

The insurgents wearing military uniforms in two Hilux vans mounted with Anti Air Craft guns, were ambushed by gallant troops in Tunkushe, located about 20 kilometres to Maiduguri, the Borno capital.

A military source told PRNigeria that the attackers were suspected to be from the Islamic State in West Africa Province (ISWAP).

“Items recovered from the insurgents include; one gun truck mounted with Anti Air Craft gun, AK 47 rifle, buffen radio and various types of other ammunition. Several traces of blood were also seen along the route where the remaining insurgents escaped in disarray,” he concluded.
