‘30 Soldiers’ Slaughered As Boko Haram Attacks Military Base In Borno

soldiers killed during boko aharam attack

At least 30 soldiers were reportedly killed when Boko Haram insurgents attacked a military base in Zari, Borno state.

They were said to have stormed the area in trucks on Thursday, overrunning the military base and sacking the entire village.

Twenty soldiers were injured in the incident, sources told Daily Trust.

The soldiers were said to have withdrawn following the heavy assault while the insurgents carted away “weapons abandoned by fleeing troops”.

A fighter jet deployed to the area was said to have repelled the attack, saving the situation.

“We lost many soldiers in the duel and many of them are still missing because they are yet to return to the Damasak base,” a military source was quoted as saying. “We equally lost weapons to the attackers.”

The Nigerian army had confirmed the encounter with the insurgents in a statement on Friday but was, however, silent on the casualty suffered by the troops.

Texas Chukwu, army spokesman, is yet to respond to enquiry regarding the new information.

The alleged assault on the troops is coming on the heel of the ambush on a group of soldiers from 133 special force battalion about two weeks ago between Yobe and Adamawa border.

    I wonder what this country Nigeria is turning into.
    Boko Haram is everywhere even in the government, they knew it, pretended it and denied it.
    Biafrans, please be aware of this for those of you in the army, don’t pretend not to know that you are sold as a sacrificial lamb lead to be slaughter.
    Python dance that danced down to Biafrans lands and killed unarmed innocent youths, have refused to dance to the North to challenge armed terrorist Boko Haram youths.
    What a wicked and unfair people.

    Those soldiers think they are brave, courageous by facing Boko Haram without proper military training and sophisticated weapons. You are not brave in the face of danger and death; you can only be brave or courageous to face fear but not danger. And again, their superiors in the military and the Nigerian government don’t care about them. Their death is not giving them sleepless night. The sooner those soldiers realize this, the better for them.
