KANO – Nigeria’s military has surrounded a village in
the northeast to flush out Islamist rebels who fled there
after reportedly snatching soldiers’ wives and children
during a daring attack on an army barracks nearby,
witnesses told AFP Saturday.

Suspected Boko Haram fighters stormed the barracks in
the town of Bama early on Friday, spraying it with
bullets before torching the compound.

Several Bama residents told AFP the insurgents also
abducted several of the soldiers’ wives and children
during the attack.

Asked about those details, northeastern military
spokesman Mohammed Dole refered AFP to Nigeria’s
defence headquarters.

Defence spokesman Chris Olukolade could not be
reached for comment.

Bama residents said the Boko Haram gunmen fled to
the nearby village of Abbaram after the attack, where
the military sent hundreds of troops on Saturday.

“The soldiers have besieged the village and more troops
are deploying in hundreds,” said Ibrahim Idris.

“Nothing is happening yet but from the huge number of
troops deploying and the large number of Boko Haram
in the village one can imagine what may happen”

Karim Bunu, who also lives in Bama, described Abbaram
as a village of some 250 people


“We are afraid of what will happen to the people of
Abbaram because whichever way one looks at it, they
are facing a serious security threat,” he told AFP

A third resident, who requested anonymity, said the
Islamists were holding in Abbaram the “women and
children of soldiers,” who had been kidnapped during the
Friday attack, in an account supported by both Idris and
Bunu.

In November, Human Rights Watch reported that Boko
Haram has increasingly used kidnappings as a tactic,
abducting scores of women and children this year.


After staging an attack on the military, the insurgents
typically flee to far away camps to evade pursuing
troops, but their escape was slowed on Friday by fighter
jets which dropped bombs on the major routes leading
out of Bama, according to the military and witnesses.

“I counted 18 burnt all-terrain vans belonging to the
Boko Haram gunmen pulverised by military jets,” said
the unnamed resident, who identified himself as a
member of a military-backed vigilante force which has
formed in the northeast to fight the insurgents

Air force jets continued to fly over the region on
Saturday, residents said.

The Bama attack was the second major Islamist assault
on the army this month, casting further doubt on official
claims that the rebels have been weakened by a seven-
month-old military offensive in the northeast.(AFP)

TechWalker007: You are making mockery of yourself.
Buhari said he WILL NEVER PRESENT HIMSELF FOR ELECTION AGAIN! Yet you will support him if he does.
Are you not a sad hypocrite?!!

Stop using double standard!!!

Abagworo: If you've ever been scammed before, you'll understand the reason not to put further trust in someone that has already changed statement once or twice. He'll keep changing statements and you'll keep falling because of sentiments.

Dibiachukwu: All praises to the most high yawa

mannobi: Where is oduah, lawan etc

donphilopus: Are you from Ekiti state??

GenBuhari: You mean Thief Olusegun Obasanjo

AK Money: Na so land scarce reach? Make dem no spoil moon for us ooo

Theben: And you believe that a country with over 80 percent of it's population owning atleast a mobile phone has an average of it's population living below a dollar per day? Even a mo.ron won't think like this.

egift: APC welcome every Nigerian to its platform. We say no to PDP divisive leadership, mismanagement and under-development.

One thing the PDP are afraid of is Unity among Nigerians, and that is why they keep looking for means to divide us.

Kairoseki77: The tribal bigots in PDP hate it, but the country is actually coming together! In just under a year, politicians from EVERY region have joined hands under APC. Truly an inspirational thing to see.

Sincere 9gerian: Those guys are Tinubu slaves. They only represent their pockets and the political interest of Tinubu. Their jaundiced opinions do not in any way represent the opinions of the yoruba people.

Tolexander: That is barbaric!

Why did they have to shout their party on the budget concerning the whole nigeria. Are they there to represent the party or their constituencies?

jmaine: Affirmed . . .But watch as she will be inducted into the nairaland hall of shame this year.

If care is not taken both daughter and father will be strong competitors in the hall of fame and shame. . . .

olatomiwa: Never! Obj did not win his local government why do they need him! Tinubu, please don't betray our trust in you, all this people will hijack the party

donphilopus: ..........

confusion247: Born to rule mentality and their western slaves will never see things the way you are seeing it.
