Six Nigerian soldiers were killed and 14 injured when Boko Haram militants raided Kamuya, security and hospital sources said on Saturday, January 19.
Militants attacked an army position on Thursday in Kamuya, a village in the northeastern Borno state, near the home of Chief of Army Staff Lieutenant General Tukur Yusuf Buratai’s mother, the sources said.
“We lost six soldiers in the fight and 14 others sustained various degrees of injuries,” an army officer said.
“The terrorists also suffered heavy losses,” the officer added without giving figures.
A medic at the hospital in nearby Damaturu confirmed that the bodies of six soldiers were taken to the morgue on Friday.
Militants captured four military vehicles and destroyed two others, said the military source who asked not to be identified because he was not authorised to speak about the incident.
Security sources told AFP on Friday that troops had fought off the militants who failed to overrun the post.
The attack began at about 5pm (1600 GMT) and lasted for around three hours, with the gunmen meeting “stiff resistance from the soldiers,” civilian militia leader Mustapha Karimbe said from the town of Biu, around 30 km (18 miles) from Kamuya.
“The soldiers stood their ground and fought the terrorists for close to three hours and forced them to flee,” a military officer in the Borno state capital, Maiduguri, told AFP.
Kamuya was hit twice by Boko Haram in December 2015, not long after Buratai was appointed Chief of Army Staff.
It is unclear which Boko Haram faction was behind the attack, although Islamic State West Africa province is known to operate in the area.
