2 Soldiers, 22 Policemen, 14 Prison Warders, 13 Terrorists Killed by bappahman: 11:39am On May 08, 2013
By SaharaReporters, New York
Military sources have told
SaharaReporters that Tuesday’s
unprecedented onslaught on Bama by
suspected Boko Haram terrorists
resulted in the death of two soldiers
and 13 of the invaders during the fight
at the military barracks.
At the police barracks, a woman and
two children were burnt to death, our
sources said.
They also confirmed that 22 policemen
were shot dead by the terrorists at the
Divisional Police Station, and 14 prison
officials killed at Bama Prison Station.
“The attack was repelled by soldiers on
sentry a little distance from the
Barrack’s Fence,” one of them said,
appearing to be downplaying the
severity of the incident at the military
facility.
SaharaReporters had earlier been told
by sources that security agencies were
still counting the numbers of the dead,
and that several police were killed in
the attack in which the militants
released as many as 150 prisoners in
Bama Prison. All the warders on duty
were reported to have died.
SaharaReporters has also learned that
the following structures were attacked
and burnt:
·   The Police Area Command
and Divisional Police Station;
·   Bama Prison Station;
·   Magistrate Court;
·   Primary Health Centre, and
·   Police/MOPOL Barracks
The following items were recovered: 3
AK 47 Rifles; 8 RPG launchers; 3 RPG
Bombs, and eight magazines
Earlier today, security sources told
SaharaReporters that today’s brazen
attack on military, prison and police
formations in Bama is perhaps the
biggest undertaken by Boko Haram
militants.
In an attack on Bama on April 26,
suspected Boko Haram terrorists killed
a Divisional Police Officer and scores
of police officers.
Three days later, on April 29, a Boko
Haram/JTF duel resulted in the death
of 17 persons. About 200 homes were
reportedly burnt to the ground.
