Breaking News: Boko Haram Sacks Monguno Barracks, Fate Of 1400 Soldiers Unknown by Nobody: 9:39pm On Jan 25, 2015 |
Top security officials just confirmed to SaharaReporters that Islamist fighters today overwhelmed the 243 battalion of the Nigerian Army stationed at Monguno Barracks. The insurgents killed an undetermined number of soldiers and wounded the brigade commander of the barracks. Streets of Maiduguri Sahara Reporters Media Our sources said soldiers who put up resistance to the invading insurgents were killed, adding that many soldiers then ran in different directions. They disclosed that 1,400 soldiers were stationed at the barracks at the time of the attack, adding that military authorities were not aware of their exact whereabouts or how many of them had been killed. “We still don’t know what has happened to them [soldiers], but we know that Boko Haram now controls the barracks and Monguno town,” one officer based in Abuja confirmed. Despite the losses, Nigerian Defense Headquarters said the military was conducting air raids around the besieged barracks, adding that soldiers had to tactically withdraw from the town due to injuries sustained by the brigade commander and others. Contrary to our earlier report that Nigerian troops had repelled attacks on the barracks, our sources said the military facility had fallen to the Islamist terrorists. “They [Boko Haram] have gained full control of the barracks, together with all the weapons there,” one senior military source told us over the phone. The source echoed a statement by another military source in Maiduguri, capital of Borno State, that the Islamist fighters had killed many soldiers and a huge number of civilians in Monguno. Monguno town, home of the overrun barracks, is 85 miles from Maiduguri, the capital of Borno State. Boko Haram began attacking Monguno and Maiduguri simultaneously since last night, but Nigerian troops succeeded in repelling them from Maiduguri. After an intense battle in the state capital that lasted several hours, Nigerian troops were able to repel the insurgent attack. Nigerian troops said they had killed more than 100 Islamist fighters in the Maiduguri offensive. source: http://www.vevonews.com/fate-of-1400-soldiers-unknown-as-bokoharam-attacks-monguno-barracks/

Boko Haram are sacking villages close to Maiduguri and the NSA is busy talking about Pornography, another one is busy playing politics with certificate while another loud mouthed is on twitter combating Ezekwesile. May God protect all the soldiers in the trenches of the North eastern coridor. May God protect siriusBlack and every soldier that find it as a duty to protect the Nigerian territory. My heart is with you in prayers. This war is surely not going to consume us. 5 Likes 1 Share |

The story is true and not one we should be playing politics with. I have never expressed a preference for GEJ or BUHARI but serious now GEJ needs to tell us HIS PLAN to have any credibility. I am not a soldier but I do not see the wisdom in having a barrack in a WAR ZONE especially when clearly we do not have any meaningful aerial surveillance not to talk of offensive capacity. To court martial soldiers in these circumstances is madness. It is clear the soldiers at the top including Minimah have to go, the trouble is their replacements will be determined by GEJ's interests. Nigeria is not winning this . What is painful is this is clearly an effort to influence the elections but sadly GEJ does NOT seem to have any answers . In this day and age we cannot be asking our soldiers to die at the rate of 50 to 100 daily while some clowns like Dieziani are feeding fat. Think if you are a soldier in Monguno will you be motivated for this war under the circumstances? It seems clear to me that GEJ is totally unable to solve this problem that does not mean that Buhari can either which could mean Nigeria is F$$CKED 4 Likes |

As the February 14 day approaches, their attack intensify. We the voters shall not be intimidated by Islamic Jihadist, who believes that they are born to rule. Sharia will only be practiced in their zones and shall not spread further. . Buhari in 2003, has pledged to help the course of Sharia, yet we wonder how Shekau and his fellow Jihadists are having successful raids. . The bible tells me that I should not be unevenly yoked with unbelievers. 2 Likes 2 Shares |
