Two Boko Haram suspects escaped arrest after a gun battle between them and a team of joint security operatives.
Leadership reports that the battle that led to the death of one of the operatives ensued on June 7, Sunday, in Kaduna.
An anonymous eyewitness, who is a neighbour to the residence of the Boko Haram suspects, said that the security personnel raided the area at about 1 am yesterday when the territory became saturated with gun-shots that lasted for hours.
The incidence reportedly happened at Ungwan Keke-B village in Chikun local government area of Kaduna state.
According to the eyewitness, although the suspects escaped, their wives were arrested and taken to an unknown destination by the security operatives.
Mallam Suleiman Mohammed, the head of the village, confirmed the information and added that the security operatives including soldiers and the State Security Service announced that people in the area should come out of their houses and ordered them to leave the place to avoid collateral damage.
After the battle the entire building where the suspects were residing was reportedly in shambles as blood stains could be seen on the floor.
Meanwhile, Nigerian troops were deployed into strategic areas to curb the Boko Haram sect. President Muhammadu Bujhari has also welcomed assistance from the US in the fight against the insurgents.
