Mr Matawalle added that the ministry would take the responsibility of all the medical bills of the victims.
The Army spokesperson said the troops’ onslaught terminated many terrorists while others fled with gunshot wounds.
Mr Nwachukwu said the troops waited for the marauding terrorists before engaging them in a fierce firefight that neutralised two while others fled in disarray.
The army chief added that it was also imperative for the combat arms and other components of the army to continue to look inward and make the best use of available resources.
“As you are all aware, the security challenges we face today are both real and daunting and therefore require renewed vigour by commanders at all levels,” said the army.
