The Nigerian Military Special Operation Unit, Mubi Battalion, Adamawa, on Tuesday said it killed two notorious Boko Haram commanders during a gunfire exchange.

Lt. Col. Beyidi Martins, the Commanding Officer, Operation, told newsmen in Mubi.

Martins said the unit was making a successful progress in containing the activities of the sect and other miscreants that terrorised the state.

"Two notorious Boko Haram field commanders, Abubakar Zakaria Ya'u and Muhammed Bama, declared wanted, had been killed by the special operation unit, Mubi," Martins said.

He said the operation that led to the killing of the two commanders was successfully carried out following collective effort by the military, members of the State Security Service (SSS) and other security operatives.

Martins, who commended the support and cooperation given by the people of the area, said the activities of the sect was weakened in the state.

"On July 30, the unit received a call from some good Samaritans that there was an attack going on at a Mubi Bureau de Change, where some armed miscreants invaded the area. http://allafrica.com/stories/201308140090.html
