Boko Haram Successfully Takes Over The 2nd Largest City In Borno by Nobody: 9:35am On Sep 02, 2014
Fresh reports reveals that the Boko Haram sect have successfully taken over Bama, the second largest city in Borno after they regrouped to fight a fierce confrontation with the Nigerian Military.

According to Sahara Reporters, the state’s second-largest city was attacked earlier this morning by the militants. That first attack was initially repelled by Nigerian troops, but the militants appear to have returned in greater force, leading some of the soldiers to follow fleeing civilians in an effort to escape.

SR reports that several soldiers were killed during the gun battle, many of them are missing, while over 100 soldiers who sustained serious injuries are currently being treated at the MRS hospital in Maimalari Barracks.

An intelligence source told Sahara that only a few soldiers, in four armored tanks, were seen near Yezaram River and that the unit was in no way capable of re-taking Bama from the militants.

Meanwhile a source told me that there's been a curfew in Maiduguri, that it is likely air strikes will be deployed at Bama and civilians may be requested to leave the town of Bama.

A local security official, Muhammed Gava, revealed that the insurgents came from the direction of Banki town and heading for Bama when they encountered soldiers and began exchange of fire before they later invaded the town.

“We heard that there are many casualties on both sides, but we cannot say the number or who had suffered more damage between the troops and the terrorists,” said Mr Gava. “There are rumours that the soldiers were able to repel the attack in the first place, and many Boko Haram terrorists were killed and about 31 of them arrested alive. But the insurgents later mobilized and returned to Bama, and they are currently engaging the soldiers in Bama. Most of the residents had been on the run from through Konduga to Maiduguri.”

Continue to deceive yourself. All the military formations of the 7th division in Bama have been completely dislodged. The Insurgent attack was lead by Khalid Al-Barnawi himself.

Suffice to say, Bama is now in the complete control of the insurgents. Very Tragic

Brother the Nigerian government have failed.

I was close to tears when i learnt that Bama has fallen 'cos i know how strategic and important Bama is.

Biu, Kukawa and Maiduguri are the only places in Borno that are in the control of the Nigerian army, the other areas have fallen

Stop spreading falsehood simply because you think you are anonymous. FYI, you are not anonymous. The internet is not a safe place, my 2cents.

The only people that are presently in Bama are insurgent fighters from the Harakatul-Muhajirin and Ansorul-Muslimiin under the command of Khalid al-Barnawi and Abu Usamah al-Ansori

All the element of the 7th division of the Nigerian army in Bama have been completely routed. Maiduguri, Biu and Kukawa are the only places in Borno under government control.

You are sounding like BH propagandist. Even the media agencies that are most critical of Nigeria's military campaign in the NE have confirmed that Bama attack was repelled successfully and you are here telling us to believe the opposite. BH have failed the more. BH is a challenge to Nigerian government, a challenge that will also fizzle away with time, but that axis is still reasonably under the control of FG.

I have reasons to believe that you work for the media arm of Boka Haram, you champion the dissemination of their false propaganda.

Airforce jets that were called in yesterday during the Bama Battle came under flak attack from the insurgents. A friendly fire was even dropped in the column of the NA at the Bama Barrack. Very tragic

Why are people living in denial? Our military is obviously fighting insurgents who have more battle experience and better tactics than them.

Honestly this is terrible.
