Boko Haram Captures Bama by Lathunjimi(m): 10:19pm On Sep 01, 2014
Boko Haram militants have taken over Bama, in Borno State, residents have told SaharaReporters. Bama which is the state second-largest city was attacked earlier today by the militants. The early morning attack was initially repelled by Nigerian troops. The extremists seem to have returned in greater force, leading some of the soldiers to follow fleeing civilians in an effort to escape. Boko Haram has completely overrun the city and hoisted its flag in the city center, residents are saying.
An intelligence source said reinforcements were underway to Bama from Maiduguri, but our own sources said only a few soldiers, in four armored tanks, were seen near Yezaram River. He added that the unit was in no way capable of re-taking Bama from the militants. Over 100 injured soldiers are receiving treatment at the MRS Hospital in Maimalari Barracks. Several soldiers have died while others are still missing.

I was even questioning myself if the person who piloted the Jet fighter that blew up the military barrack was trained or not b'cos it would have been a victory recorded for Nigerian Army if not for his stupidity.
