The Nigerian army has announced that a sizeable chunk of the 39 soldiers declared missing after a fight with Boko Haram insurgents last week in Gashigar, Borno have returned.

“I want to inform you that a sizeable number of our soldiers had returned to base,” Maj.-Gen. Lucky Irabor, the Theater Commander of Operation Lafiya Dole, said on Wednesday in Maiduguri.

“I think it is only a handful that have not been found,” he added declining to state their exact number.

He said that the military was engaged in an ongoing operation to uproot the terrorists from the area.
