Troops of Operation Hadin Kai have killed three members of Boko Haram insurgents in Gubio Local Government Area of Borno State, sources have said.

It was gathered that the troops, in conjunction with the Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF), in a joint operation, intercepted some terrorists who usually terrorise commuters and robbed them of their valuables Friday evening.

The sources added that two of the terrorists carried AK-47 riffles while the third one was their rider.
