Suspected Boko Haram insurgents have given a notice of attack to the 233 Battalion of the Nigerian Army based at Kukareta Barracks in Damaturu, Yobe State, National Mirror reports.

The sect was said to have expressed its resolve to attack Damaturu on August 9. Also known as the Special Operations Battalion of the 3 Division, Nigerian Army, the formation is headed by a commanding officer who was said to have received a letter by Boko Haram stating its intentions.

National Mirror gathered that the letter was received between Tuesday and Friday last week. In June, soldiers of the battalion were said to have uncovered a terrorist cell within the state capital, Damaturu. The cell was yet to be raided for certain reasons. One, the commanders were careful of picking a date for the raid for fears that a mole within the Army could leak the information to insurgents. Secondly, the infantry soldiers were said to have advised that men of the Air Force be sent to shell the cell before ground troops would be sent in.

They will surely regret it

MANGAM: They will surely regret it

We should hope so. I no longer trust our military.

How many times have we seen this trend?

Yeah right!

So that GEJ will withdraw troops from Osun in order for aregbe rascal to flood osun with his thugs.

Another proof that Boko Haram is APC!

Have you seen the video of Boko Haram's attack on Giwa barrack at Maiduguri few months ago?

May God heal Nigeria.

They are not going to attack that barracks.... I strongly feel that it is a diversionary tactic. while the troops mass at the barracks in preparation for an attack, then they strike at a soft spot that has been left unprotected.

I ve the video. For as long as the sect continue to kill innocent,armless and defenceless Nigerians, they live to regret it oneday

Exactly my first impression upon seeing the topic.

if the military intelligence down plays this, by arguing that the BH will attack a soft spot, then BH will spring a suprise and attack the stated target.

If the MI focus attention on the stated target, the BH will attack a soft spot.

Head or tail, the military will be made to look bad, Jonthan will take the blame and the APC will shine!

As for me, let us arise, team up and allow the Jihardists to have their own nation up there in the North.

I see this as a stunt by d opposition (APC) to c if Jonathan will take interest in the nation's security like he is doing in election matters, dnt 4get d said day is the governorship election in Osun. It is actually a lithmus test for d C-in-C.
