On Thursday and Friday, more than 100 ISIL terrorists died in a Nigerian river as they attempted to cross while fleeing from Nigerian soldiers.
The Nigerian army has started large-scale operation to clear the areas and villages around River Yazaram since last week.
A military official stated that many of the terrorists threw themselves into the river to escape from the military onslaught but many of them drowned.
The Nigerian army has proven and shown more power in the last few weeks with aerial and ground attacks against the terrorists.
Boko Haram terrorists have since metamorphosed into ISIL anti- state actors and only last weekend killed an Imam and others in Borno.
The Nigerian military has increased onslaughts on terrorism and has pledged to do more.
