Troops battling the Boko Haram sect in the north-eastern part of Nigeria have displayed a wild animal they gunned down in the course of doing their jobs.
The troops displaying the hyena
Nigerian soldiers were elated as they killed a hyena which they came across while hunting for members of the Boko Haram sect in the thick forest.
The troops happily posed with the animal as they prepared to process it for eating. The soldiers have also been killing big snakes in recent times.
There have been rumours of the soldiers not being well fed at the theatre of war and this animal is expected to give them the needed protein and energy to battle the dangerous sect which has been around for almost a decade.
