There was an intense exchange of gunfire in the north-east on
Wednesday night as a huge number of suspected Boko Haram terrorists
descended on a military base in Yobe with the intention of dislodging
the troops there and taking over the location.
Military insiders told Premium Times that the terrorists stormed
the military base in Kamuya at 5:30 p.m. from three different directions
shooting non-stop for over 30 minutes.
Because the attack was unexpected and the terrorists were in such a
large number than the officers and men at the camp, the troops
initially withdrew, our sources said.
However, a reinforcement was quickly sent from Buni Yadi to join
the troop on ground. After hours of intense fighting, the troops were
able to retake the camps, with the terrorists fleeing.
A large number of Boko Haram terrorists were said to have been
killed in battle with some fleeing the scene with gunshot wounds. One
source said three Nigerian soldiers died while some equipment were lost
during the battle. A number of soldiers are also said to be missing.
The Yobe attack came days after suspected Boko Haram members
abducted seven women and killed three other persons when they attacked a
village in the southern part of Borno State.
Witnesses and police said the incident occurred in Ndagu Village of
Askira-Uba Local Government Area of Borno State. Ndagu village is
located near Alagarno, which was once known as the spiritual
headquarters of Boko Haram and was said to have been recently liberated
by troops of the Nigeria military.
A leader of the Vigilante Group of Nigeria in Borno State, Abbas
Gava, informed the online news platform that he received a report from
one of his colleagues in Askira-Uba Local Government Area that Ndagu in
Lassa district came under massive attack by Boko Haram.
Mr. Gava said he was briefed by the Commander of VGN in Askira-Uba,
Hamidu Wampana, that many of the residents fled into the jungle when
the gunmen set the whole village on fire.
The army authorities were yet to comment on the Yobe attack at the
time of this report. Army spokesperson, Sani Usman, did not pick or
return calls and did not respond to an SMS sent to him.
