Nigerian security forces say they have killed 52 and arrested 70 Islamist militants during a 10-day spell of fighting with the infamous Boko Haram sect in the northeastern Borno state, Reuters reports. This comes after the country’s President Goodluck Jonathan, rejected the idea of an amnesty for the group during his visit to the state. "During these operations under the period stated, there were exchanges of fire that led to the death of 52 Boko Haram terrorists including 10 commanders of the sect," a spokesman for the joint task force said. He added that security forces seized a number of weapons in the operation.
