Defence Headquarters spokesman, Maj. general Chris Olukolade also said some thousands of euro were found on one of the fallen terrorists, believed to be an Amir by status and a foreigner.
He said many others fled the scene of battle with wounds.
Olukolade said the terrorists also lost a number of weapons and equipment including 13 rifles, a machine gun, rocket propelled grenade tubes and several other assorted ammunition.
Other items recovered included a Toyota Buffalo vehicle while two of their armoured vehicles were destroyed.
