Nigerian troops today repelled a group of Boko Haram
insurgents who launched an attack on the town of
Konduga in Borno State. In a fierce battle, the soldiers
routed the Islamist insurgents who have overrun several
towns in Nigeria’s northeast in recent weeks, killing more
than 150 of the Islamist sect’s fighters.
Today’s victory by the soldiers marked an important change
of fortunes for the Nigerian military, which was bracing to
face Boko Haram insurgents who have sworn to capture the
Borno State capital, Maiduguri. “Today’s attack by Boko
Haram was their first foray towards Maiduguri,” said a
security source. “And we gave them the shock of their lives,”
he added.
Our military sources revealed that the Islamist fighters
numbered about 200. They came in an armored personnel
carrier (APC), six Hilux buses, two Honda cars rigged with
explosives with suicide drivers and numerous motorcycles,
our sources added.
Soldiers drawn mostly from Maimalari Barracks ambushed
the militants as they drove in a convoy to attack Konduga,
some 50 miles from Maiduguri. “We knew about [Boko
Haram’s] planned attack three days ago, and we had
prepared for them,” an army officer told a correspondent of
SaharaReporters. He added that the militants assembled in
Bama for the attack.
Our sources revealed that, as soon as the militants arrived
and began attacking Konduga, Nigerian troops emerged
from their places of ambush on various sides to engage
them. They added that most of the militants were killed, with
the Nigerian army seizing a variety of high caliber weapons
from the insurgents. A military officer said that only the APC,
which most likely carried a senior Boko Haram militant, was
able to escape towards Bama.
Quoting security and intelligence sources, SaharaReporters
had reported that Boko Haram had vowed to capture
Maiduguri before the Islamic feast of Sallah, which falls in
the first week of October.
A military officer familiar with today’s triumphant operation
said the Nigerian troops who routed Boko Haram insurgents
had returned to their barracks in Maiduguri. “We’re now
preparing to pursue the militants further into Bama and
beyond,” said the officer.
