The attack was repelled and over 100 terrorists died, Army spokesman, Sanni Usman said in a statement.

Seven soldiers were also killed in the encounter with the insurgents while one officer and eight other soldiers sustained wounds.

“The troops recovered size-able arms, ammunition and other equipment from the terrorists.”

The military further disclosed the arrest of three alleged collaborators of the Islamic sect, saying the interrogations of Mohammed Maina, earlier arrested and accused of being Boko Haram financier and drug supplier, had led to arrest of the three collaborators.

It would be recalled that Maina was arrested by troops of 21 Brigade Monday.

“The arrested terrorist has been making very useful statements and lending more insights in the activities of the terrorists and their collaborators.

“This has been yielding positive results and as a follow up today, 3 collaborators; Jikana Alhaji Goni, aged 29 years of Hausari Ward Maiduguri, Alhaji Musa Alhaji Modu, also of Hausari Ward Maiduguri, 37 years and Alhaji Aba’ana Na Alhaji Sule aged 40, of Hausari Ward Maiduguri were arrested and are being interrogated”, it added.
