Suspected Boko Haram insurgents have given a notice of attack to the 233 Battalion of the Nigerian Army based at Kukareta Barracks in Damaturu, Yobe State, National Mirror reports.
The sect was said to have expressed its resolve to attack Damaturu on August 9. Also known as the Special Operations Battalion of the 3 Division, Nigerian Army, the formation is headed by a commanding officer who was said to have received a letter by Boko Haram stating its intentions.
National Mirror gathered that the letter was received between Tuesday and Friday last week. In June, soldiers of the battalion were said to have uncovered a terrorist cell within the state capital, Damaturu. The cell was yet to be raided for certain reasons. One, the commanders were careful of picking a date for the raid for fears that a “mole” within the Army could leak the information to insurgents. Secondly, the infantry soldiers were said to have advised that men of the Air Force be sent to “shell” the cell before ground troops would be sent in.
Already, security operatives are said to be on the high-alert while as at weekend, the General Officer Commanding GOC of the 3 Division, Maj.-Gen. J.S. Zaruwa, was said to be in Yobe. The battalion is still under the 3 Division in Jos despite the creation last year of the 7 Division in Maiduguri, which is closer to Damaturu.
“We just received a letter from BH that they are coming for a visit at Damaturu on the 9th of this month”, said a soldier who did not want his name mentioned. The soldier, who was livid with rage, said 25 of his colleagues were killed in Buni Yadi area of the state last week. He also lamented that some of his mates were currently deserting the Army since it became obvious that the Federal Government and the military high command had not demonstrated enough resolve to tackle the menace.
He said since the beginning of this year, “those idiots (terrorists) have attacked our camp more than six times in both Goniri and Buni Yadi and they always kill soldiers and policemen, yet the government and Army see no reason to solve the problem”. He said except for the Army’s respect for the rules of engagement, his colleagues would have since wiped off both villages. “The worst of it is that those guys went and bombed the big bridge that leads to the village, Buni Yadi, so that we in the town will not be able to go in, while our soldiers there will not be able to come to the town except they pass through Adamawa State, which is a long distance”. The source, however, said the Army was ready to stave off any attack.
Since 2012, terrorists have launched brazen attacks on Yobe State. While some of the attacks targeted security formations, others targeted unarmed civilians, including teenage secondary school students. Buni Yadi, Goniri, Potiskum have witnessed increased terror attacks......www.goldmyn.tv..............http:///1lmIqOSsaa
