the heavy clash happened on Tuesday at Gargaj village in Bama Local Government Area of Borno State, the epicentre of insurgency in Nigeria.
According to an intelligence report obtained from top military sources by a counter-insurgency expert, Zagazola Makama, the battle for supremacy resulted in heavy causalities on both sides.
The security analyst in the Lake Chad region revealed that a high-ranking Boko Haram Commander, Elhaj Ousman, was killed in the duel which occurred last week.
