PREMIUM TIMES has obtained exclusive details of how insurgents ambushed a detachment of Nigerian troops and hours after overran a fortified military base, inflicting maximum damage.

In an assault that has now created fresh complications for the military operation in war-ravaged North-east, suspected Boko Haram insurgents last weekend attacked troops in Borno and Yobe states, killing soldiers, plundering equipment and supplies and torching even larger quantity of equipment and supplies.

The terrorists hit a convoy of officers, soldiers, informants, local vigilante members and hunters in the first attack on July 13. The early morning ambush, which occurred in Bama Local Government Area, Borno State, initially left five officers and 60 soldiers missing. But most of the troops later found their way back to base by the next morning.

The following day, insurgents swarmed 81 Division Task Force Brigade in Jilli, near Geidam, Yobe State. Three Nigerian Army officers and 28 soldiers were confirmed killed in the attack, military sources who examined the aftermath of the attacks informed PREMIUM TIMES.

Sources disclosed that one officer and 24 soldiers who survived varying but serious degrees of injuries during the attack are currently undergoing treatment at medical facilities in Maiduguri, Borno State, and Damaturu, Yobe State.

Two members of the Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF) were also killed in the Jilli attack, while three of their colleagues who sustained serious injury are at the hospital in Maiduguri. Four CJTF members went missing in the attack, while the fate of five remained undetermined.

An officer and two soldiers were acknowledged missing in action in the Bama attack by the Nigerian Army 7 Division Headquarters in Maiduguri. But multiple military sources told PREMIUM TIMES that three officers and nine soldiers were still missing in action as at July 16.

In both attacks, insurgents suffered at least 10 casualties, but were able to cart away military equipment and supplies, both ranging from assorted gun trucks to food items in storage facilities.

The Army downplayed the degree of troops’ setbacks in its reaction to initial news reports about the Bama attack, saying in a July 16 statement that only one officer and one soldier were injured.

Texas Chukwu, a brigadier general and Army spokesperson, completely ignored media enquiries and reports about the attack on the military base in Jilli.

Unsolved cases of missing soldiers

The resurgent Boko Haram fighters are at the peak of their raining season onslaught and have been ramping up their campaign against security forces.

Despite claims by President Muhammadu Buhari that his administration has boosted their morale and technically defeated Boko Haram, the troops claimed they are still beset by a high death toll, desertions and arbitrary deductions from their entitlements by senior officers, making it difficult for them to beat back the insurgents despite driving them away from the Sambisa forests.

In the world of corporate politics, resignations don't just happen..

He must have been forced to resign!

When would APC stop this silly and stale rhetoric

We need to change the change as a matter of urgency...

This guy is a certified lunatic!

APC, R-APC, N-PDP, the spirit of GEJ is haunting all of you...

I would advise you beg before it is too late!!

@ Gazzuzz, please I need your advise..
Vehicle is a Toyota Rav4, 06 model. The AC suddenly stopped cooling without warning, the AC technician traced and diagnosed the fault to be the sensor on the compressor and advised we:
1) buy a new sensor (advised against it as it might fail agaim)
2) convert to manual compressor ( claims this is the best action)
3) buy a new compressor
4) buy a Belgium compressor.

Please what are your thoughts..

Why haven't they placed a ban on fulani herdsmen??

GEJ throwing subtle shades at PMB... Let's wait their explosive rejoinder!

He is obviously incompetent and only compensated with this role...

However, happy the author of this piece is not in Nigeria, he would have been transmitted with full transmission (sorry sir) to SARS detention!!

Buhari latest gaffe is indeed the mother of gaffes.

Indeed the power of social media cannot be discountenanced as currently seen in this trending issue.
The same cane they used on Jonathan is being applied in double dose!!

Association of Nigerian Lazy youths welcome you sir.
May thunder trail your footsteps for the comment you made about us in London!!

I would never forget the day Nigerians were deceived by the change mantra to vote for Buhari

He doesn't also know that people are very hungry and incredibly frustrated!!

Should this kind of nonsense be on front-page

A party built on deceit and propaganda!

It is simply imploding and the jagaban might not be able to halt its slide into oblivion!!

Sai APC
Why APC
Kai APC
Die APC

I believe Nigerians have already decided...

They want him to know that daura is gradually but firmly beckoning!!!

Our security agencies are obviously bereft of ideas, policing has been seriously bastardized and politicised.
The SSS that should be concerned with more weightier matters is busy chasing shadows and trying hard to please the ruling Fulani class!!

Nigeria which way??

Please vote wisely in the next elections!!

Sometimes I wonder who advises some of these governors!!

Considering the magnitude of their crime, it was extremely crass of Okorocha to grant amnesty to already wanted criminals..
Anyway, Nigeria political space is famed for absurdity and madness, let's watch how this plays out

Nice info!

Buhari and his supporters lack the ability to understand constructive criticism...

It is well!!

Ok

Seems everyone is deserting the "shithole" President!!!

Children in most cases outgrow adenoid but it is harrowing watching your child breathe with so much difficulty coupled with incessant runny nose..

Going through the surgery is a good idea as it relieves the child, however in many of such cases operated, the adenoid almost always grows back!

There are some local solutions you can mix to alleviate the pain like honey mixed with ginger.
Also use Shea butter to rub on her face and throat.
