Independent journalist, Ahmad Salkida tweets that among those killed is “a commander” of the terrorist group.

Reports also say the terrorists, Monday evening engaged in fierce gunshots in Biu, Borno state. Biu is the headquarters of Biu Local Government Area where the current Chief of Army Staff, General Yusuf Burutai hails from in the North-East.
