The spokesman named five top Boko Haram commanders killed in the operation were Abu Dujana, Man Tahiru, a Deputy to Boko Haram group Hisba leader, Man Chari, Mallam Abdullahi Abu Sa’ad and Goni Bamanga.
“The Nigerian military would continue with the concerted onslaught on the reported Boko Haram terrorists’ locations till they have been eliminated,” he added.
