Posted by Abou Hurairah, a notorious Boko Haram commander, was killed after escaping several military assaults.
During the raid on a location in Marte Local Government Area, Borno State, Hurairah and other warlords were slain.
Using Alpha planes from the Nigerian Air Force (NAF), the Air Task Force (ATF) of Operation Hadin Kai (OPHK) bombarded the target.
In recent weeks, Hurairah and other Boko Haram terrorists have carried out a number of strikes in the Monguno region.
