Failed Maiduguri Invasion: Nine Soldiers, 56 Boko Haram Insurgents Killed by idrisa334: 3:54am On Jan 26, 2015 |
Nine soldiers and 56 insurgents might have been killed in the attempt of the Boko Haram sect to capture Maiduguri on Sunday morning. The attack on the town began at about 12.30am and could not be totally suppressed until about 11am. It was gathered that hundreds of heavily armed insurgents tried to gain entrance into the town through Jinikin-Moronti, on the road linking Maiduguri to Damaturu along the Jos-Kano highway and close to two major housing estates, 1000 and 707. The suspected terrorists were confronted by the soldiers and other security operatives of the 33 Battalion Barrack at the entrance to the town. The battle initially raged from 12.30am to about 3.30am, when the attack was thought to have subsided.

God bless our gallant soldiers!!! Even though they have been demoralised, and demotivated by a clueless governance, they are still fighting tooth and nail to serve their fathers' land. |
