Army eliminates top Boko Haram commander
The defence headquarters says troops of operation Lafiya Dole (OPLD) have eliminated another top boko haram commander, Abu Usamah.
Acting director, defence media operations, brigadier general Benard Onyeuko, disclosed this in a statement in Abuja on Monday.
Onyeuko explains that Usamah had earlier sustained fatal gunshot wounds in the fire-fight that ensued during the encounter, before his foot soldiers hurriedly evacuated him and withdrew.
