Big Trouble: Boko Haram Has Taken Over Bama, Hoists Flag by nairaclass: 2:18pm On Sep 02, 2014
Nigerian soldiers tried but it seems the Boko Haram guys are still winning the battle with their superior and more sophisticated weapons, OluFamous. Com gatheered. After hours of fighting, the dreaded sect finally took over Bama town and sources say they have successfully hoisted the flag.
According to information obtained by Leadership, no fewer than 550 soldiers fled to Maiduguri from Bama as they could no longer withstand the fire-power of Boko Haram men. Nigerian soldiers run?

Scores were killed in Bama town while the heavy battle with Boko Haram and Nigerian soldiers lasted. In the wee hours of Monday, terrorists riding on several trucks led by armoured tanks stormed the town located about 50km north of Gwoza town.

The soldiers at the entrance of Bama coming from Gwoza, near the Mopol Barracks in Bama, were said to have engaged the terrorists who came in numbers equal to a full battalion.
But some military sources claimed the affected soldiers did not flee Bama alongside civilians because they were overwhelmed by the insurgents, but were asked to retreat into Maiduguri to avoid casualty during the planned air raids on Bama.

Military sources who spoke to journalists in Maiduguri said the soldiers were able to kill about 70 of the terrorists and injure about 30 others.

An official of the State Security Service who spoke off the record confirmed the incident, even as he said more troops were being sent to Bama to beef up security presence.

A local security official, Muhammed Gava, told Leadership on phone that the insurgents came from the Banki town and heading for Bama when they encountered soldiers and began exchange of fire before they later invaded the town.
