Abuja - The army has
reportedly killed 59 members
of Boko Haram terrorist sect in
an exchange of fire in Bama,
Borno State. According to a security source
who preferred anonymity,
about 200 insurgents had
invaded the town but fell to
the superior weapon handling
and war tactics of the soldiers. He said over 30 insurgents
were also left injured with
various bullet wound as the
majority of the terrorist were
compelled to retreat through
the bush while others sped via the highway. Some residents of Bama, who
spoke to journalists in
Maiduguri, said they woke up
early Monday morning to
heavy bombardment as
gunshots the air. “Everyone was thrown into
pandemonium as we continue
to hear deafening gunshot and
we are later to hear that over
200 Boko Haram terrorists
attempted to capture the town. "We also learnt that they
stormed the town through
Bama-Banki-Gwoza Road but
they were intercepted by
gallant military troops near the
Bama Mobile Police Unit located about 5 kilometers
away from the center of the
town” a resident explained. He said they were believed to
have tactically attempted to
enter Bama town in a convoy
of military vehicles and
motorcycles, dressed in
military uniform and armed with sophisticated weapons
and improvised explosive
devices (IEDs). The resident added that during
the battle, gunshots were
heard and there was heavy
sound of explosion from
rocket propelled grenades as
well as bombs. He said the explosions which
rent the air made many
residents fled the town
through the bush and some by
road or vehicles to
neighbouring Villages and towns including Maiduguri and
Konduga. Another resident of Bama,
Malam Mohammed Bunu
Ahmed, confirmed the
disturbances.
"There was an attempt by the
insurgents to enter Bama and capture it as they did to
Gwoza few weeks back but
thank God for the good efforts
of the military troops
stationed near the mobile
police unit who repelled the attack with the assistance of
their colleagues from the 21
Brigade of the Army who
gallantly succeeded in
repelling them after successful
killing over 59 insurgents and injuring over 30." He said the whole episode
was "so scaring" such that
many locals had to flee to
Maiduguri for safety.http://m.news24.com/nigeria/National/News/Army-succesfully-battles-Boko-Haram-in-Bama-20140901
