Konduga, situated 40 kilometers along Bama road is a gateway to Maiduguri, the Borno State capital.
In the last two weeks, sources said the Boko Haram insurgents have been making frantic efforts to attack the state capital.
A credible security source said the encounter in Konduga lasted between 4am and 12 noon today.
According to him, " This was the happiest outing by troops of the 7 Division in recent times.
"Almost all the terrorists that mobilized for the Konduga attack were killed. Two of them were arrested and the simple fact is that the Boko Haram suffered a major defeat this time around. They came when our men were ready for them.
"All the vehicles they came with were either shelled or confiscated. About six of the vehicles have been taken to the Maimalari Barracks so far and more are on the way.
"Our troops also recovered dozens of rifles and explosives. A suicide bomber was also intercepted and killed.
"A cameraman that they came with them in order to cover their planned atrocity was also killed and the remnant of the camera recovered," he said.
