Mr mod, front page pls

Sahara Reporters will never carry any news like this. I guess their 'sources' are not privy to this information.

Nice one, if it's true

At last. Nigeria must be one

By Kingsley Omonobi, Henry Umoru, Caleb Ayansina, Umar Yusuf & Ndahi Marama
ABUJA—The military, yesterday, engaged the Boko Haram terrorists in a fierce battle at Vimtim, the home town of the Chief of Defence Staff, Air Chief Marshal Alex Badeh, inflicting heavy casualties on the insurgents. At the end of the gun battle, the troops who moved in from the 1 Division Kaduna, 3 Division Jos and TRADOC, Minna killed 40 sect members and also succeeded in reclaiming Michika, Uba and Gulak towns from the terrorists.

Giving details of what transpired, the source said, the terrorists encircled the troops from all angles of Vimtim as the troops concentrated in the city centre and a gun battle ensued. Unknown to them, the newly deployed soldiers arrived and joined the battle, taking on the terrorists from behind leading to killing of over 40 insurgents while others fled.

The military also recovered 17 Hilux vehicles, General Purpose Machine Guns (GPMGs) mounted on their Hilux vehicles, and several Anti-Aircraft guns (AA weapons). Several surface-to-air missiles were destroyed while four were taken away by the troops.

The military source added that the initial retreat by soldiers from Mubi was to enable soldiers re-strategize and attack the insurgents in full force, adding that this was what made civilians panic.

The situation, however, changed dramatically when troops from the other three states arrived and assisted in cutting the insurgents off in the confrontation that ensued.

3 Army officers, 2 soldiers injured —Defence Hq

The Defence headquarters has also confirmed that three officers and two soldiers were injured in the bloody encounter. In separate tweets posted, yesterday, it said the injured officers and soldiers were currently receiving treatment at a military facility.

Vanguard gathered that the General Officer Commanding the 3rd Armoured Division of the Nigerian Army, Major General Mohammed Zaruwa was personally directing the counter-insurgency operation.

The tweets read: “Counter Terrorist Troops have carried out an attack on insurgents in Mubi town, Adamawa State. In the fierce battle to root out the insurgents, scores of insurgents lost their lives, while several others escaped with fatal gunshot wounds.

“Two officers and three soldiers who were wounded in the battle are currently receiving treatment in a Military Medical Facility”.

Death to the traitors!!!

One Nigeria!!

The DHQ always claim no town is lost, only for them to turn round to say the towns have been regained. I need a reliable source from BBC, Aljazeera or CNN.

The WAR shall soon be over...

Wonderful News ! But don't be sad if you don't see it as broadcast message on your BBM , retweeted on twitter, posted to Facebook or shared on Nairaland.


Social Media has turned many of us into Weapons in the hands of the Enemy


1. Without knowing it, many of us have taken over the role of Abu Qaqa

2. Transforming personal Blogs, twitter handle and social media spaces into platforms for propagating terror

3. How will you feel if that Video you are sharing and broadcasting is that of someone you know, sharing such Videos and information that massages the ego of the insurgents in the height of insensitivity!

4. Supporting our troops is a civic responsibility

Supporting their families while they are in the front lines is a duty we must all embrace

Supporting the families of fallen soldiers is a debt we need to start repaying !


May God help us to help ourselves!

GOD BLESS NIGERIA

The forces of darkness cannot overwhelm the collective aspirations of all well-meaning Nigerians for a nation built on the fear of God and the rule of law.


To all overt and covert Boko Haram admirers, apologists, supporters and collaborators, please remember that evil will invariably attract its comeuppance:whether here or hereafter.

Keep deceiving yourself. If not for foreign media that give us the true picture, will some day be taken unaware that Boko Haram had gotten towns from the north to Lagos.

Them no dey finis? I mean BH!

Thump up to our gallant soldier

Really.

Good news.

Great news!! This is the sort of news that should be assailing our eyes and Nairaland. I know Shara LIEporters would never been the ones to convey this news. If na news about Nigerian soldiers running away or Boko Haram "taking over" towns, them go rush go report am.

BH sympathizers like APC the foreign media (BBC & CNN) and Sahara reporters won't say or display this kind of good news only the opposite .

I only came here to read the comments

Unfortunately, the evil expectation of people like you will never come to pass given the potency and gallantry of our armed forces.


Boko Haram are merely exploiting the goodwill of the government to carry out isolated attacks.


The moment a full-scale war is declared against them, they would be extirpated out of existence within days.

Now go and tell that to Shekau...

This news made my day especially the number of tools that were recovered from them . . . .

Good news for well meaning Nigerians.Waiting for the e-BH sympathizers to refute the claims.
