Boko Haram denies its 20 men were killed by security forces, The Islamist sect, Boko Haram, denied on Monday that 20 of its fighters had been killed in a raid by security forces in Maiduguri the day before, saying all those killed were civilians.
A security officer said a mixed military and police force, tipped off about a Boko Haram
meeting on Sunday, had been fired on when they approached the site and killed 20 “terrorists” for
the loss of one soldier in the ensuing shootout. Boko Haram spokesman, Abu Qaqa, told a teleconference for journalists in Maiduguri, capital of Borno State and the sect’s heartland, that his fighters had not been meeting at the place where the military said it killed them.
“They only succeeded in killing civilians,” Qaqa said. “Twenty of us cannot risk sitting in a volatile place to hold a meeting ... It is not possible.”..
Hmm..so who exactly is saying the truth..#justasking
