The Nigerian Army has declared a total of 12 officers and 89 soldiers wanted for deserting the war front in Borno State.
The banks accounts of the affected personnel have also been frozen by Army authorities.
The Military said the soldiers absconded from duty after insurgents attacked their camps in Marte and Dikwa Local Government Areas of Borno State, leaving scores of their colleagues dead.
At least seven soldiers of the Nigerian Army are reported to have died after Boko Haram terrorists attacked Marte.
The soldiers, attached to the 15 Task Force Battalion, were ambushed and dislodged after hours of intense fighting with the troops overwhelmed by the superior firepower of the terrorists.
The unit then tactically retreated and relocated to Dikwa, which was attacked again.
However, the Nigerian Army has announced the recovery of Marte and other communities and ordered the arrest and freezing of bank accounts of the fleeing soldiers.
Meanwhile, various formations of the army have been notified to immediately apprehend and deliver any of the soldiers found in their areas of responsibilities.
An internal memo to that effect has already been circulated to various formations, reports claim.
