SaharaReporters has learnt
that Boko Haram militants
may have kidnapped 18
female soldiers in Baga in
Borno State, according to
information from military
sources. Two sources told
SaharaReporters that, out of
26 female soldiers posted to
the military base of the
Multinational Joint Task
Force, only eight have so far
been accounted for.
The commander of the troops
in the area, Colonel Kuti, has
also not been found since the
insurgents attacked the town
on Saturday.
Residents of Baga told our
reporters that Boko Haram
insurgents invaded their town
and killed at least 55 people,
including soldiers attached to
MNJTF. Both residents and
security sources said the
insurgent attack lasted close
to 18 hours before the
Islamist terrorists
overpowered the troops and
seized the military base.
One military source said the
attack took them by surprise.
He said the troops made a
gallant effort to repel the
attack, but that hundreds of
Islamist militants stormed the
military base with high-caliber
weapons. A resident revealed
that the invading insurgents
also burnt down parts of the
fishing town.
Bukar Kaka, a fisherman who
fled from the town, said no
fewer than 50 villagers,
including five soldiers, were
killed while others sustained
wounds in the attacks. He
said he saw soldiers fleeing.
A military source disclosed
that some fleeing sources
were headed for Monguno
barracks near Maiduguri, the
capital of Borno State.
The fisherman said Boko
Haram militants sacked the
troops from the barracks,
with the soldiers fleeing into
various locations. “A lot of us
found ourselves in the bush.
In fact some of them
removed their uniforms,” said
Mr. Kaka.
A security source said the
insurgent invaders also
stormed other neighboring
communities, shooting
indiscriminately at people. He
added that the militants also
destroyed hundreds of
houses and shops, often
using fuel and other explosive
devices.
In an interview with the
British Broadcasting
Corporation (BBC), Senator
Maina Ma’aji Lawan
confirmed the insurgents’
attack on Baga and
surrounding towns. He added
that military troops and youth
volunteers, popularly known
as ‘civilian JTF, had
attempted to repel the
onslaught, but were
overpowered by the invaders.
“This is indeed a sad moment
for my people who were
plunged into bloodshed by
the insurgents. Security
forces with active support of
the youth have been working
hard to protect the area from
several attacks in the past.
But due to the large number
of the terrorists and
dangerous weapons they
used in the latest onslaught
these patriotic persons were
unable to resist them,” Mr.
Lawan said.
“We are calling on the Federal
Government to provide relief
materials for the displaced
persons and expedite action
[to] liberate the area so that
our people can return to
normal life,” the senator
added.
Boko Haram insurgents had
attacked Baga on three
previous occasions over the
past one year, leaving more
than 300 people dead.

What's all this nonsense happening in Nigeria?

Hmmm! These boko haram people, they been targeting ladies and the female folks all the time.

Army abandoning their barracks is not common, but is becoming frequent in Nigeria. I wonder what could be the cause.

i saw an article about the baga attack and subsequent capture on Aljazeera, so i think its credible info for now.......

BH is a northern strategy 2 wrest power from GJ. BH has islamic agenda, and political as well supported by northern elites and unfortunately GJ is collectg the heat yet he seems not to act decisively as the grand commander of Nigeria arm forces. I pity GJ.
What a pity ! D fall of baga is heavy lost 2 nigeria.now BH have free flow of arms and military hardwares and merceneries from chad,libya,car,niger.
As a matter of urgency the Multi national Forces sh regain Baga or else we sh b ready 2 c and hear more horrible tales of BH. God save us.
