Don't make wrong assertions to buttress your lame points, which Hezbollah have defiled the lights of Israel? They have defiled and the whole world is crying about the devastation caused by Israel on its enemies? Or tell one war Hezbollah have worn against Israel except except was begged to stop the onslaught cos the terrorists use women, children and civilian centers as sheilds?
ColonelEmeka: The Nigerian military's ground and aerial assaults have decimated the Boko Haram terrorists' splinter group, Islamic State in West Africa Province (ISWAP), during the latest gun duel in Damaturu, Yobe State, North East Nigeria.
A Nigerian Army source disclosed this on Monday, saying that ISWAP lost about 30 fighters and two Commanders including Abu Muqhtar the overall commander who led the foiled attack.
According to the military sources, not only was the attack repelled by Nigerian troops successfully, the ISWAP recorded heavy casualties with two out of four commanders mentioned in their earlier intercept neutralised.
"May Allah help our gallant troops and their leadership to succeed in this fight against the insurgents," the source said.
The source further narrated the sequence of the events, saying: "On 22/12/2019, about 2046 hours, ISWAP Senior Commander ALI (aka Abu Huzaifa) who was located around Ben Kalio Estate, Damaturu, Yobe State informed high profile Commander Ahmodu located around Lake Chad fringes that they have tried all their possible best to penetrate the town but the troops resisted and pushed them back to the tranche.
"Abu Huzaifa also added that they have recorded heavy casualties and more injuries in this foiled attack. He also disclosed that they have lost a General Commander who coordinates many attacks around Lake Chad fringes named Abu Muqhtar and about 30 other fighters were also killed."
"Abu Huzaifa also stated that the reinforcement team from Gorgore Camp couldn't come because of some undisclosed reasons. He further revealed that the soldiers got information about the movement and prepared for them. He also maintained that the fighter jets also played some roles in pushing them back to the ditch."
The foregoing therefore, the source said, it is established that the ISWAP has lost a very Senior Commander in this foiled attack on Damaturu township.
"It is also observed that they have lost about 30 other Fighters and recorded many injuries and as well as many vehicles destroyed. Nigerian Army has made us proud today. The ISWAP lost about 30 fighters including Abu Muqhtar the overall commander who Led the attack," the source stressed.
This news is soothing and hope the govt remains open in the fight against these scoundrels.
Meanwhile, what sort of journalism is this ? Repeating and saying the same thing paragraph after paragraph just to make it look like its a long write up. The first paragraph is the news its unnecessary to repeat same in different ways. Baby Journalist!
Kenturkey048: Fsarz ar nothing but bloody civilians..they cant cope with heavy exchange of gun fires...The kinda fight that happens in Maiduguri is not between two cult groups or yahoo boys..Fsars are nothing but untrained touts that are handed riffles to bully people...
Yea i know i just suggested that since they are good in killing armless citizens

But they keep attacking. They are weakened but yet attempted to take the state capital,I think they are test running,gauging the strength of the military.
The anger from a dying breed. It is spelt RUTHLESS and not rootless
That was their final pants of air in an attempt to give the impression they were still strong. Do note that we are talking about ISWAP and not BH.
BH had to partner with ISWAP when they got extremely weakened and "technically defeated". The ones who carried out this failed attack was ISWAP and not BH.
So yes BH is no longer the BH they used to be pre 2015 and it is not a political statement but fact
Those who know know that Boko Haram have been weakened long ago..they no longer have the logistics, firepower to do much damage..the real fvckers on ground are iswap..they annexed Boko haram and other jihadi fighters from the sub-Saharan areas..
Our Officers and Men are on full red alert! They are on standby and ready to pay the supreme price for their fatherland.
By the grace of God, no NA, NAF, CJTF or MNJTF personnel will lose their lives, but the BH will pay dearly for their mindless thoughts to deprive Nigerians of long lasting peace. BHers are goners!
The Almighty will protect the families of the men and women on the battlefield. Peace and comfort will be with them all through.
All the way, Boys!

A lot of you just send out false information with authority and this is wrong. There was no attack on Damaturu. ABSOLUTELY NONE! They only attacked Gonar Bukar settlement on Gashua Road and not Damaturu. They were successfully repelled by the NIA and suffered heavy casualties.
Gonar Bukar is far from Damaturu and is not Damaturu.
Do I look like the blogger that posted the story yesterday or the mod that pushed it to front Page?
I am in Lagos, I don't have any info to give abt yobe except what I read. THE POST SAID THE CITY WAS ATTACKED AND CITIZENS ARE INDOORS WHILE SECURITY OPERATIVE ARE ON PATROL. An army spokesperson even stated they were on top of d situation.
That's d reason I began my comment with 'if I remember correctly' . Go argue with the army and blogger not me.

I reserve my ammo for serious and formidable people, not uppity little busybodies who're largely unknown and insignificant.
So I'll ignore you now and save you from yourself.
Don't ever tell me you are a soldier? cos you brandishing your ammo to one who called your attention to your misinformation and your subsequent bullying really shows the army is lacking capable qualified hands.

Oh sod off, sambo.
What misinformation?
Just because you mystify your Israel does not mean truth has to suffer for it.
isaacprinz: this references and points you are trying to make is doesn't add up. And it leads to one end shame... Folks like you will be happy if the barbaric Islamic sets continue to over run innocent citizens, or news of how a certain number of soldiers were killed by these insurgents..well your motive of having such devilish affiliation with terrorists be like it political, ethnicity, religion or sheer stupidity and ignorance will only lead you to shame and disappointments, because from your utterances and analysis you are in full support of this demons...I am not here to banter words with you if Boko Haram became ISWAP or when they had alliance....but however they come we shall continue to clear their doubt's. Living my family behind in this deserts loosing sleep and all manner of life freedom just to secure our country territorial integrity and its citizens. Then.. When I try to flip through nairaland at leas to know latest happenings I come across comments like yours and many others that rejoice when ever a soldier goes down believing that will put an end to ignorance and stupidity and I ask my self are these people worth this sacrifice am making. Well for the sake of the good Nigerians I will say no going back. To those benefitting from this insurgents from any guise your days are numbered so many Nigerians want us to sabotage the fight with the popular notion that Nigeria is not worth dying for..then those cowards and weaklings that made this assertion do little or nothing to make the civil or federal system up right. we call them hypocrites, our fallen heroes will never go in vain. Nigeria is winning and will continue to win.
you're right some Nigerians don't want good things to happen to the country cos of their tribalism and religion. they always want bad things to happen so dat dey call Nigeria a zoo or Nigerians a zombie , so anytime dey see good news about nigeria they won't believe and they won't be happy cos dey always find a weak point of Nigeria and yet dey live in Nigeria, eat Nigeria food, trade in Nigeria.
pray for God protection for you and colonelemeka and others gallant soldier in the war or wherever they are
But they keep attacking. They are weakened but yet attempted to take the state capital,I think they are test running,gauging the strength of the military.
FOR THE UMPTEENTH TIME NOBODY TRIED TO TAKE DAMATURU
