Missing soldiers return, join units-Army
Earlier on Thursday, media reports said some 105 soldiers went missing in action after they engaged Boko Haram terrorists.
Usman's statement described the incident as a slight setback for the Nigerian troops operating in the Northern Borno State towns of Gudumbali and Kareto, saying, the situation was being stabilized.
He added that "The troops have re-joined their units for further action."
He said: "earlier media reports were exaggerated. The CO (Commanding Officer) is currently with his soldiers."
Such minor setbacks are common in military operations, Usman said.
