Boko Haram attacks military post, kills 16 soldiers, abducts some

Dozens of suspected members of Boko Haram sect on Tuesday June 24th carried out a deadly attack on a military post in Bulabulin Ngaura in Damboa LGA of Borno killing 16 soldiers, Punch reports.
 
According to one of the soldiers who escaped and spoke on anonymity to journalists, he said the sect men came in 30 vehicles mounted with anti-aircraft guns, caught them unawares and subdued them
"We were totally subdued by the insurgents. Some of my colleagues were abducted and many others escaped with bullet wounds. Dozens of Boko Haram insurgents stormed our checkpoint at Bulabulin on Tuesday night. The terrorists came in a convoy of over 30 vehicles, mounted with Anti Aircraft guns (AA). I was at the checkpoint when the terrorists came, we tried our best but they had advantage over us. They had AA and we had Ak47 rifles that are not fully loaded. When we realized that they had taken over the place, some of us escaped to Maiduguri and other places but many could not make it. As I am talking to you, 16 bodies of our colleagues have been brought to Maiduguri, this is apart from those that sustained injuries and many others that are missing.” he said

  3. May the souls of the dead soldiers rest in peace.
    Boko haram has declared war on our country, hence the need for a change in approach. Boko haram is threatening the existence of our country sand should be viewed as a common enemy by all. And shouldn't be personalized, coz they've spared no one in their attacks.

      No, Boko Haram is being funded my powerful people. These insurgents are being aided because there is an agenda. The agenda is to take over Nigeria, hault her progress, and control her resources. This sudden craze of Boko Haram everyday is being controlled by people that are not in Nigeria, or Africa for that matter. THINK.
      NIGERIANS REFUSE TO THINK.

  18. Our govt is a big joke.How do they expect this poor soldiers who use crude guns to fight BH with sophisticated weapons? This govt is so weak and yet when people talk,pro GEJ supporters will start barking while its obvious the ship of Nigeria is sinking.I won't respect BH until they step up their game to Aso rock,VIP houses of our so called law makers,political godfathers,army generals and what have u.Enough of the killing of poor citizens and junior ranking soldiers.Maybe only then will this big men take the menace of BH serious.Haba!

  19. BH will soon get rid of the Nigeria military and take over, if Nigeria leaders do not wake up from sleep, its obvious our leaders do not bother about the insecurity in the country

  20. How many countries in this modern day have a military that can be easily subdued by insurgents. What our government are good at is to play crazy politics and embezzle public funds.

  23. Hello Linda, are these images you always post (which are very similar) the true likeness of Boko Haram members? Because right now when I think of BK a pic of Rambo with bullets across his chest, a bazooka always comes to mind. If not, stop posting false images. Many thanks.

  26. Look @ this;
    In a football match you are not attacking nor defending BUT your Opponent is attacking you left, right and center and yet you aren't doing anything.
    From the deepest part of me I will say I am not happy with whoever is in the helms of affairs in our dear country Nigeria.
    Bokoharam is attacking our people and our nation managers are not doing anything.
    What awaits you by God my mouth can't say it

  29. Why will soldiers be at Borno and yet they carry partially loaded guns. Why should they even use AK4 rifles when the BH uses AA(Anti-Aircraft)? Borno Govt gives N200m every month to the Military operations in Borno, what do they do with the money? The soldiers have been complaining about being under equipped, what has the FG done about it?

  38. How will they not grow to deal with tgesoldiers when the government has not fomerly declared war on them. They will only grow and grow more powerful. Maybe We shall now have a 'bring back our soldiers campaign'.
