The troops were escorting about 200 newly-trained soldiers from Maiduguri to Dikwa when they were ambushed by the terrorists around 7:30pm.
"There was a heavy gunfight. At least eight soldiers have been confirmed killed and two others injured. Boko Haram also suffered losses" a military source told AFP.
"It was a surprise attack and this is what led to the casualty toll," the source added on condition of anonymity.
A Civilian JTF member, who confirmed the attack said as many as 10 soldiers may have been killed.

More soldiers will still die because the army and pmb are doing wrong thing by giving the arrested boko haram members money after so days in detension saying that they are deradicalised who can change a terrorist ?
