7 Nigerian troops killed, 24 ISWAP terrorists “eliminated” during attack at Rann Army Camp, Northeast Nigeria

Seven soldiers of the Armed Forces of Nigeria were killed while no fewer than 24 Islamic State of West Africa Province (ISWAP) terrorists were “eliminated” as the extremist terror group launched an attack at the Rann Army Camp, Borno State, Northeast Nigeria.

Sources confirmed that the Nigerian military’s casualties, who are troops of Operation Hadin Kai, include two officers and five soldiers.

A source noted that the ISWAP terrorists stormed Rann, a hotbed of terrorists’ attacks in Northeast Nigeria, on several gun trucks and engaged the military in a gun battle.

According to the source, “the terrorists could not subdue the gallant troops, during the crossfire. At the last count this morning, we recovered 24 of their dead bodies killed in the gun battle, while the rest fled with injuries.

“We also recovered huge sophisticated weapons apart from their gun trucks that were completely destroyed by airstrikes.”
