26 Boko Haram Terrorists Killed As Army Thwart Attack On IDP Camp In Dikwa by obiremy: 7:01am On Feb 25, 2016
No fewer than 26 boko haram members were killed and several others injured as the insurgents tried to attack Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) camp located at Dikwa on Thursday February 25. Unfortunately, one soldier and a member of the local vigilante (Civilian JTF) died during the encounter. Also 3 soldiers and 4 Internally Displaced Persons sustained injuries. See statement released by the army below;


Following dislodgement of Boko Haram terrorists camps in the border towns of Kumshe and Talala by joint operations of Nigerian and Cameroonian forces, the terrorists made a futile attempt on Dikwa early today.

From all indications, the terrorists aimed at causing havoc at the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) camp located at Dikwa. However and unknown to the fleeing Boko Haram terrorists, the Armed Forces Special Forces in blocking positions decisively dealt with the terrorists; killing many, recovered vehicle, arms and ammunitions.

Unfortunately, we lost a soldier and a member of the local vigilante (Civilian JTF) during the encounter, while 3 soldiers and 4 Internally Displaced Persons sustained injuries. A military vehicle was damaged by a Vehicle Borne Improvised Explosive Device (VBIED) suicide bomber.
The troops recovered 26 bodies of the Boko Haram terrorists, while others escaped with gun shot wounds, destroyed 3 VIED, 1 MBIED and 2 Gun trucks. The gallant troops recovered 1 Gun truck mounted with an Anti-Aircraft Gun, 1 Dushka Anti-Aircraft Gun, 1 Browning Anti-Aircraft Gun, 1 Rocket Propelled Grenade (RPG) Tube.

Others include 1 General Purpose Machine Gun (GPMG), 4 AK 47 Rifles, 3 RPG Bombs, 36 Hand Grenades, 1 Smoke Grenade and 8 AK-47 rifles magazines. The troops also recovered 236 rounds of 12.7mm ammunitions, 396 rounds of 7.62mm ammunitions and 101 rounds of 762mm (Special), ammunitions.

The casualties have seen been evacuated while the troops have been pursuing those terrorists that escaped with gunshot wounds.
It is encouraging to note that despite loss of colleague and the vigilante, the troops have maintain dominating presence in the general area and poised to continue to clear the remnants of the Boko Haram terrorists.

I still feel Jonathan allowed this group to fester just so he can collect loan to fight Boko Haram. Money he subsequently used for campaign. I can't forgive him. Men, women of the Army were laying down their lives and it was nothing more than politics to Jona.

Every day display of killed Nigerian youths.

The Boko people whether on the war front or government offices want one thing - a country governed with sharia criminal codes.

Why not give them the sharia ruled country?

Useless politicians of Nigeria.
