Boko Haram insurgents have been repelled by Nigerian troops who stopped their attempt to infiltrate Michika in Adamawa State last night.
At about 7.20 pm, troops deployed at Lassa in Borno State received a distress call from vigilantes at Maikadiri village on movement of the insurgents enroute Michika.
The troops immediately organized blocking positions and swooped on the terrorists who attempted to escape but were intercepted and suppressed with heavy volume of fire.
The terrorists were completely routed by the troops, neutralizing many of them while others fled in disarray due to superior firepower.
