According to Usman, the tragic incident occurred when troops repelled an attack on the headquarters of the 7 brigade Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF) at Baga in Borno, which occurred at 7pm on Wednesday, December 27.

While urging the public to remain calm over the incident, he said: “We will keep you posted with development on the pursuit and mop up operations.”
He disclosed that the Nigerian air force component had been mobilised and are engaging the fleeing fighters.

Sirjamo:

An officer? Boko is upgrading steadily

Noo our nairaland zombies and gullible ones offline believe boko boys have been defeated.

While some useless ones believed they are now strucking in a soft target.

Buhari is on a mission to supersede the number of people killed since boko haram started, that's his achievement so far

If they can kill our armed personnels at ease, then we are not safe as civilians.

Died for nothing

How are the mighty fallen ...

Men of the Nigerian Army have been reduced to target practices by ragtag boko boys.

Waiting for Buhari to condemn the attack and vow to bring perpetrators to book

Technically defeat is an understatement, I schooled and worked in Maiduguri, I currently work in Yobe, Boko haram has been heavily degraded since 2015, ask any one on ground between 2011 and now.

For a degraded rag tag Boko Haram to slaughter more than 100 soldiers in a single attack...

I say you should be flogged at the village square
