The Nigerian military on Tuesday said it has
recovered a Boko Haram hit list, which
contains names of communities targeted by
the extremist group.
The Defence Headquarters through its official
Twitter page said other documents, including
sketches of towns, were also recovered.
Boko Haram militants have overrun several
communities in northeast Nigeria, killing
residents and destroying their homes and
places of worship.
The military has, in recent weeks, reclaimed
some towns that fell to the terrorists.
In two separate operations spanning Adamawa
and Bauchi states, government troops killed 27
suspected terrorists during fighting, defence
spokesperson, Chris Olukolade, was quoted as
by PRNigeria as saying.

military.
“During a hot pursue of the terrorists around
Hildi, Adamawa State, at least seven of the
terrorists lost their lives while a total of five
rifles, hundreds of rounds of ammunition as
well as bows and arrows were captured from
them,” it said.
It said during another raid operation
conducted on Balmo and Lame forests linking
Borno, Bauchi and Adamawa states, troops
recovered rifles and a number of motorcycles
after a stiff resistance by terrorists was
crushed.
Over 20 of Boko Haram fighters lost their lives
while some were reported wounded, the
report said.
