A report by Sahara Reporters indicates that an ambush by Boko Haram terrorists in Meleri, a village in Konduga local government area of Borno state, has resulted in scores of fatalities.
According to the report, victims of the bloody ambush included soldiers and members of the Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF).
The incident reportedly occurred at about 11 am on Wednesday, August 23.
A security source quoted in the report stated that the troops were attacked while undertaking a trip from Konduga town, the local government headquarters, to Kawuri, a few kilometers from Meleri.
"We lost soldiers and four CTJF members. The troops were ambushed by terrorists on their way to Konduga yesterday, leaving many wounded on both sides. As our troops approached the desolate village, the terrorists opened fire on the convoys," said the source.
The Nigerian army is yet to make a statement on the alleged attack.
