5 Terrorists, 4 Soldiers Killed In Boko Haram Attack On Yobe Community by vegafbs: 5:59pm On Feb 17

Five Boko Haram members, an officer and three soldiers were killed on Saturday, at Buni Yadi in Gujba Local Government Area of Yobe, during encounter between troops and the terrorists.

Col. Sagir Musa, the army spokesman, who confirmed the attack in a statement on Sunday, said the casualties were recorded when the terrorists attacked a military formation in the town.

The Nigerian Army Special Forces School and 27 Task Force Brigade are both located in Buni Yadi.

Musa said five other soldiers were wounded and were receiving treatment in the Brigade Field Ambulance.

According to him, the insurgents were armed with four gun trucks, one Mine Resistant Ambush Protection (MRAP), one MOWAC (heavy fighting equipment) and assorted arms and ammunitions.

He noted that nine AK 47 rifles, one anti-aircraft gun, 121 rounds of 12.7 mm anti-aircraft ammunitions, two 36 hand grenades, 295 rounds of 7.62 mm special ammunition and four Improvised Explosive(IED) Devices, were recovered from the insurgents.

Musa said one IED cylinder, one RPG bomb, one RPG bomb charger, one gun truck and one Bajaj motorcycle were also recovered from the terrorists.

He said the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai, commended troops for successes being recorded in recent times in the battle against insurgents in the North East and enjoined them to remain resolute, alert and decisive as well as professional.

Buratai also thanked all those who passed timely and credible information that aided the successful “abortion of the attempted attack on troop’s position in Buni Yadi.”

In another development, Musa said troops deployed to provide security for the rescheduled Presidential/National Assembly elections at Iwaraja Junction along Osun and Ogun axis on Saturday intercepted three hoodlums moving towards Ilesa East Local Government Area, with intent to disrupt smooth conduct of the rescheduled elections in the area.

The army spokesman said the hoodlums would be handed over to the police upon completion of “initial profiling and investigation.”

He said one locally made pistol, one gutless, three rounds of cartridges, three mobile phones, one iPad, one Peace Corps face cap, one Peace Corps ID card and N14,300 were recovered from the suspects.

That has always been my standpoint...is it that the razor blade is not sharp enough or that the barber doesn't know how to use it properly? The same AK 47 that Boko haram and iswap use are also what is being issued to our military men..our military also has more battle equipped vehicles..so how then does insurgents match them and even overpower them in some cases? If you give 10 soldiers an AK 47 rifle with 30 magazine clip and also give 10 iswap terrorists the same ammo, can we say for sure that our soldiers will defeat them? We keep hearing bullets are not enough but is that really the case? How well is their marksmanship? How well is their Intel gathering? How well is their battle formation under fire?

Pls whoever posted this news here may God bless you. Pls where are the apc who claimed their party are winning boko haram?

Untrained, misguided bastards Islamist killed four soldiers and the Nigeria soldier killed 5 Islamist terrorist pls what a disgrace? In a millitary rationale the army lost woefully and it's an embarrassment to the president who was a rtd General and a total disgrace to millitary hierarchy.

Buhari where is our $1billion arms procurement cash you took from NNPC account?

At about 1 am Saturday morning 16th feb 2019, I heard sounds of cars moving and people passing outside my gate, at my residence in Polo maiduguri.This never happened. I heard them whispering but could not make out what they were saying. Little did I know that they were evacuating the area because they have been informed by BH that they will attack the area that morning. Later that morning around 5am just as they called for the early morning prayers, people got into the mosques to pray. Then Boko Haram attacked a mosque very close to my house with explosives and sporadic shootings. Many were killed. There after, the boys could not leave because military came. They were hidden by a woman in her house. The military did a clean up around the area and caught them. They killed some who tried to escape and took some to the barracks. These Boko Haram boys are well protected by the indigenous people, and in turn give warnings to some of them when they want to attack.
