Jihadists killed four police officers and two civilian militiamen in an attack on a military base in northeast Nigeria’s Borno state on Wednesday, security sources told AFP.

Suspected Boko Haram fighters in trucks fitted with machine guns launched a dawn raid on the army base in the town of Damboa, sparking intense fighting.

“We lost four mobile policemen and two civilian militia fighting alongside soldiers during the fight with the terrorists,” said a military officer, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

Anti-jihadist militia leader Ibrahim Liman confirmed the toll, after supporting soldiers during the attack.


Nigeria’s decade-long jihadist insurgency has killed 36,000 people and displaced two million others inside the country, and spilled into neighbouring Niger, Chad and Cameroon.

Local resident Modu Malari said on Wednesday the insurgents had attacked with machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades but were forced out from the town by troops after a fierce two-hour battle.

More than 50 residents were injured by shrapnels from grenades fired by the jihadists, he said, after some strayed into nearby homes.

Damboa lies on the fringe of Boko Haram’s Sambisa Forest stronghold from where the group has launched repeated attacks on villages and military posts.

In November last year, at least 10 Nigerian soldiers were killed and nine injured in a Boko Haram ambush in Muchima village, outside Damboa.

Upon all The Buhari APC campaigns mantra to defeat Boko-Haram in less than six months chai they've deceived us, we won't take this incompetence anymore.

What i don't understand is how they attack with machine guns and grenades along side AK-47,but when the Nigeria military arrest or kill some of them what we see is a hunter's gun and Cutlass

Do you now have to quote the entire post just to repeat the same words you have been singing since 2016?

Boko haram should help us kill police very well..

That's a good lesson for those who tagged them Repented.

These are the terrorists the Daura dûllard releases into open society, fûckin ásshôle

This is so sad. Our young gallant soldiers are being killed for nothing!

We will win this war

Kill them ...you are fighting against the north.


Capture them.... The FG will re_jihadi-late them, and send them back to the community.







Gowon you see the one Nigeria you fought for?

Allahu Akbar

Yet these are the same killer terrorists the Buhari's regime is granting amnesty to while the senate is legislating to enable them get executive privilege while the multiple victims of their atrocities continue to bemoan their tragic fate.It will never be well with these bastards.

And after when the terrorists are finally captured, instead of giving them 20yrs imprisonment or more, Buhari will release them with an award of a free education abroad.

Who's killing who?
Anyways as long as there is killing happening they should continue...

I thought Bokoharam has been technically defeated

Maybe they were looking for their scholarships

Ohj
