1.Truth.I groaned inwardly when Minister of Info said that. Boko type groups usually keep fighting to the last man...literally.

2,On the other hand, Boko used to carry out bombings in cities like Kano, Kaduna, Lagos,etc. Now, they can't. That's a win for the govt.

boko Haram did not carry out attack in Lagos, they scarcely did so in Laguna and Kano.
We all know that Boko Haram strongholds are born, you've and adamawa,which their presence is still viciously witnessed. Don't be deceived they are still very much around as we can see.

Thank God

With timely backup plan and intensive defense strategy, boko haram kangaroo attack can easily be nipped in the bud.

Boko Haram fighters battled Nigerian soldiers for about an hour on Wednesday as they tried to take over a military base, in the latest attack against troops in the restive northeast.

A former local government official, a civilian militia member and a motorist who witnessed the shooting said the Islamist militants tried to storm the outpost in the village of Mainok in Borno state.

Troops managed to repel the attack with the help of reinforcements but it comes after a series of similar raids targeting soldiers that is likely to stoke fears of a resurgence.

Lawan Bukar Wasaram, a former chairman of the Kaga district where Mainok is located, said “large numbers” of Boko Haram militants tried to take over the base.

“So far, 14 of the attackers have been killed and two of their (pick-up) trucks impounded,” he told AFP. “The situation has been brought under control by troops.”

A leader of the civilian militia in the Borno state capital, Maiduguri, some 60 kilometres (40 miles) east of Mainok, gave a similar account, although he put the death toll at nine.

“They attempted to overrun the military base but troops fought back. They had reinforcements,” he added.

Motorist Laminu Isa was travelling to Maiduguri from the capital of neighbouring Yobe state, Damaturu, when he and hundreds of other drivers were caught up in the shooting.

“We had to turn to nearby Jakana village and waited until the fighting stopped,” he said.

“They came in eight pick-up trucks. We saw them when they crossed the roads and many of us stopped in panic. But they told us they weren’t after civilians.

“Their main target was the military so they touched no-one among the motorists.”

Deadly road
Isa said the gunmen came from the direction of Buni Yadi in Yobe, which links up with the Sambisa Forest in Borno — the long-time base of factional leader Abubakar Shekau.

An increase in attacks, including against “hard” military targets, was expected as it has happened before when the Nigerian Army changed senior commanders in the northeast.

Last week, Major General Ibrahim Attahiru was redeployed after just seven months in charge.

The army maintained it was a routine transfer but it followed increased violence in recent weeks, including a suicide bombings that caused heavy civilian casualties.

At least six soldiers died in two separate Boko Haram ambushes earlier this month near Damboa, south of Maiduguri.

The upsurge in attacks could also be an indication that Boko Haram is feeling pressure and is fighting back to secure weapons, ammunition, food and supplies.

The Maiduguri-Damaturu-Kano road was once one of the most dangerous routes for motorists in the northeast, where at least 20,000 people have been killed in the insurgency since 2009.

In September 2013, at least 167 people were killed when Boko Haram gunmen barricaded the highway in Benisheikh, near Mainok.

Jakana and Mainok were also attacked and burnt in March 2013, killing about 80.

In September 2014, jihadists fired a rocket-propelled grenade and sprayed Mainok market with bullets.

Humph, “They came in eight pick-up trucks? (like a scene reminiscent of Banana Republic Sierra- leone and Liberia as exemplified by the movie Blood Diamonds?). People, we are talking about 21st century military here. I doubt a bunch of primitive rabbles of the type described could turn up in bare-bone pick-up-trucks and attack a whole Nigeria Army military base in far-far-back 1970. Look, if a single truck escaped, as it seems likely all but two did, reading between the lines, then Nigeria is not taking this thing seriously. They are playing games with peoples lives for whatever motive known to them.

Are these people having a laugh, or is it that leadership has deliberately deprived the army of any armament commensurate with threat level ,which is considerable actually (stretching across Africa from Mali to Congo with France puling the strings in the shadows,one corner and Arabs on the other.



...i support Nigeria Army , but, boy, when one thinks of it, one single pick up truck, in a convoy of eight, shouldn't really be escaping after even attacking common police station in any Nation of the world of the rank Nigeria should belong

How many battle zones have you been to ?

Honestly I wish Islam is a good religion, but full of bad morals, they have turned out to be in support of all this demonic killings, I always ask this question, if there's ever any good in Islam why can't the whole body of muslims hold a protest against the Boko Harams and Fulani herdsmen men and even all this evils occurring, instead they have a knife to stab every other religious beliefs, I feel pain for all the muslims believing there's a paradise for them after killing innocent people.

Funny military if not for reinforcements the base would have been gone.just 8pickups holding military hostage .
If reinforcements had come for the Bokoharam wat would have happened...

But if its to oppress in SOuth east and dance Python dance they will be ready small book haram ordinary 8trucks attack ur base..

lol, imagin, suckers even had time and temerity to converse with civilians!!

(woooo-ha-ha-ha-haaaa, I laugh the insane laughter of Auguste Rodin's Thinker, contemplating the meaning of life and universe; only, I'm contemplating the meaning of Nigeria's' security intentions and not, 'who am I?'

BH are focus on thier mission when then want civilians they go for them.
When they want the military they go for them.

To your tent oh israel ! dont qoute wrong o what i mean is that this country should be divided give every region their own including boko their caliphate and peace will reign. cikena

Bro is nt easy...

Nairalanders help me to thank God o, my brother was in that location during the attack and he got off with a bullet wound while others died around him. As painful as the death of the other soldiers is, I cannot stop myself from saying thank u Jesus. As I'm giving my testimony, so also shall anybody who likes this post testify of God's mercy in their lives and would not lose any member of their family before this year runs out in Jesus name. Amen

How many battle zones have you been to ?

Unless you're a solider, possibly more than you. But that's beside the point. If you've the expertise,don't argue please explain, I'm sure everyone would like to read and be better informed. How dose a convoy of eight vehicles attack a military base, in a relatively modern nation, and get away except for two vehicles. The only way I can envision this is if we are in all or majority of the following situation: no intelligence, no checkpoints; no means of spotting an enemy from far (either approaching or escaping); no means of communicating to HQ; no parameters defences; quick to disperse but slow to reorganise our positions; only ten soldiers or smaller present at base; the Terrorists massacred all but a handful of our men, etc,etc

terrorists and their vehicles escaping in all direction at once is no longer a good enough explanation

...those scumbags should not be attacking our military bases, not at this stage ,and any one of them getting away especially not in vehicles large and as exposed as those are

They said they were not after civilians but military base. Sounds good.

Let boko haram stop killing innocent civilians and go after all those corrupt government(Aso Rock, National Assembly, House of Representatives chambers and Nigerian corrupt politicians) instead. If they are fighting for the good cause.

It is a myth that the Nigerian special forces walk around all the time with a powerful erection, that means if Boko Haram shows up they would get brutally bleeped in the ass like gat sissies

You said it all. I am perplexed. Also, up until now we still do not know who is sponsoring BH Can you imagine I will clap for bokoharam if they target nigerian politicians and all the thieves in and out of power.
