Boko Haram fighters backed by the Islamic State West African
Province have attacked at least four Nigerian Army bases between last
Wednesday and Tuesday.
This has already been raising concerns among the troops of the Operation Lafiya Dole in the North-East.
The army has lost a yet-to-be-ascertained number of soldiers when
Boko Haram fighters attacked its bases in the Mobbar, Damasak, Monguno
and Gajiram areas of Borno State.
Also, the acting Director of Army Public Relations, Col. Sagir
Musa, has yet to confirm the number of casualties in any of the attacks.
In the attacks on army bases by the insurgents within the last one
week, ammunition worth at least N20m was carted away by the fighters.
On June 12, while the Democracy Day celebration was ongoing
nationwide, Boko Haram insurgents attacked a military location at Kareto
village in the Mobbar Local Government Area of Borno State.
The terrorists reportedly killed the Commanding Officer of 158 Battalion and an undisclosed number of soldiers.
On Saturday, June 15, Boko Haram terrorists attacked another
troops’ location in Damasak, Borno State, during which an unconfirmed
number of soldiers were injured.
On Monday, the Boko Haram fighters attacked another military base in Monguno, Borno State, killing at least five soldiers.
The terrorists reportedly invaded the location in many utility vehicles in an attack, which occurred on Monday around 6pm.
Sources said before reinforcements came to Monguno, the terrorists
had made away with the military’s ammunition and set a section of the
base on fire.
On the same Monday, the terrorists in armoured trucks attacked another army base in Gajiram in the Nganzai LGA of the state.
A source said the terrorists were in the area for almost five hours
and did not attack people who fled into the bushes or hid indoors.
