Some soldiers were dislodged when the Islamic State in West Africa (ISWA), a faction of Boko Haram sect, invaded Gudumbali, Guzamala local government area of Borno state, on Friday.

Channels Television quoted a resident as saying the attackers looted food items and carted away gun trucks belonging to the Nigerian army.

It is the third time in three months that the village will come under attack.

TheCable understands that some of the soldiers affected in the operation are currently taking refuge at a military location in Damasak, a nearby town.

“Our troops have been dislodged in Gudumbali, and even Kukawa,” one of the soldiers in the theatre command told TheCable on Sunday morning.

While the military said it has intensified efforts to end the attacks, Abubakar Elkanemi, shehu of Borno, recently said the people of the state are still under the insurgents’ siege.

“Nobody can dare move out of Maiduguri by 10 kilometres without being confronted, attacked by Boko Haram,” he had said when President Muhammadu Buhari visited last month.

“Quite a number of farmers are being killed and kidnapped on a daily basis around Molai General Area, which is just 10 kilometres away from the metropolis, along Maiduguri -Damboa -Biu road.”

Sani Usman, spokesman of the Nigerian army, did not respond to TheCable’s inquiries on the latest attack.

I pray this war ends soonest!

BH has Been technically defeated............


idiots

i am afraid that,this monster called boko haram has come to stay

The NA should come out and tell us the whole
truth without fear or favor instead of them
getting killed like a mere soldier ant and
expecting sympathy always from us.



Don't let these politician in collaboration with
the brown envelope media play politics with
your life. Especially with someone like Lai
Mohammed as the minister of information who
goes about disseminating false information.
(Technically defeated)



Just see the way our Soldiers are running like a scared virgin at the sight of a big dick. What a shame!

I don't know why this nation is like this, which way Nigeria??. We have the resources to press Boko Haram to a standstill, let's stop deceiving ourselves in this country.

Boko Haram wants to collect part of election money too. Bad guys lol

Buhari's boys

They have been technically defeated, so why the fuss

if it is from the cable forget it i wont bother to read a saraki news medium

Chei!

See what a lifeless, quota system 'general' has reduced our army to.
The incompetent tyrant that said he will lead from the front is now in hiding.

How is that so, I mean how can you have such optimism after seeing everything that is going on??
The truth is that going by what is happening in the NE, this boko Haram crises will never end, and I will give you reasons.
Some members of the elite including the military hierarchy are feeding fat from the crises. This is why the soldiers are always being sabotaged every now and then and the tactical arming of boko Haram each time the NA abandons their equipment. Also, each time the government pays them ransom for kidnapped victims they become more fortified to buy more sophisticated arms and also to pay their fighters.
Lastly, with the biting poverty and mass illiteracy in that region, they will always have a large pool of locals to recruit.

It's painful the this war will not end any time soon, not even in 10years tie. Case study alqeada war. The US has been fighting Taliban for so long now.

Nawa ooo. Our military is now a toothless dog that run at the sound of fire cracker.

The morale in the military is all time low.

The Nigerian military is filled with cowards

We need to retrain the army and equip them

But the quota system general seems to be doing far better than your PhD hero; who called them his siblings while diverting all the war funds towards his campaign, at the expense of so many innocent lives and property.

Boko boys don come to stay
We only prevent the epidemic from spreading to South but Lagosians we should be watchful

Foolishness begins with the person who believes what you just quoted - kindly also provide the source.

You abokis never see anything

The truth is that Boko Haram killed 5 soldier in Gudumbali/Gudumbari community, see tweet below for actual report.

I'm guessing as they legged it towards the sanctuary of the surrounding hills and bushes, they would have been consoling themselves that it's better to be a live chicken than a dead lion!

It appears all that 'bravery' they showed during python dance 1&2 has deserted them!

Educated illiterate; how does your statement, "Buhari also said; a war against boko haram is a war on northern Nigeria" amount to the same thing as his criticism against the declaration of the State of Emergency on the three mentioned northern states - which had many far more reaching consequences on the citizenry?

This is how many of you claim superior education; yet exhibit very poor comprehension that often makes one wonder whether you actually went through college or simply bought your certificate.

NA soldiers always fleeing at the sight of battle. I don't get it really? Are they afraid of being used as target practice or is it self preservation and lack of patriotism?

Sadly, it's all of the above!

But when they were going to do Python dance against unarmed folks they seemed so strong and fierce......In fact they were showing their "true colors"...NO?

Well, don't worry, people are wishing Buhari/Jubril a happy birthday and are still hoping to SAI BABA for another 4 year hospital stay in London for him as President of the Nigg Area.....


Congrats

Amen.
That is the prayer.

Badass boko boys dealing with Islamic Army of Nigeria since Stone age
