At least 75 Boko Haram fighters were killed by Nigerian troops on Wednesday during a clash with the insurgents in Borno, security sources, and Power Holding Company of Nigeria staff have said.
SaharaReporters gathered that over hundred Boko Haram fighters stormed Bulaburin village to attack military men who escorted PHCN staff to repair power installations that were destroyed by insurgents six months ago in Damboa.
The militants came in a convoy of Hilux vehicles and motorcycles but met heavy resistance, a military source said.
A PHCN staff on assignment in the area told SaharaReporters that the military killed up to 75 militants during the encounter.
