In September 2014, military reports said that Boko Haram fighters attempted to capture the town of Konduga.[2] Nigerian infantry successfully repelled the attack through a combined assault of ground soldiers and aerial attacks. 100 Boko Haram fighters were confirmed killed, while only a "handful" fled the battle, with most of the dead being beyond recognition. The armed forces proceeded to seize anti-aircraft guns, rocket-propelled grenades, several Hilux vehicles and motorcycles, and an armored personnel carrier (APC).[3]
Aftermath
After the battle, Nigerian Defense Headquarters made a public statement, reassuring residents of Maiduguri and its surrounding areas of safety from Boko Haram.
