At least three Nigerian soldiers have been killed after Boko Haram/Islamic State West Africa Province (BHT/ISWAP) terrorists launched an assault on a Forward Operating Base (FOB) in the Wajiroko area of Borno State.

SaharaReporters gathered that the attack, which occurred around 10pm on Monday, resulted in casualties among Nigerian troops, including the Brigade Commander and two other soldiers who sustained injuries.

According to a military signal obtained by SaharaReporters on Tuesday, full details of the FOB attack remain unclear.

However, intelligence from a surveillance drone indicated visible fire around the base, and several troops were seen retreating toward Sabongari, suggesting that the base may have been overrun by insurgents.

The signal reads in part: "At approximately 242205A MAR 25, own troops at FOB Wajiroko came under attack by BHT/ISWAP terrorists. This prompted the Brigade to call for air support in addition to deploying a reinforcement (RFT) team immediately. However, the RFT team encountered an IED along the MSR. Consequently, a second RFT, led by Comd 25 BDE, Brig Gen UF Abubakar (N/10661), was dispatched toward Azir Bridge.

"At approximately 250045A MAR 25, while the second RFT was still en route, the Brigade Commander’s Hilux vehicle encountered an IED between Damboa and Azir Bridge. As a result of the explosion, some three Soldiers were KIA. Additionally, the Brigade Commander and two soldiers, 22NA/82/5757 PTE Mohammed Hashim and 12NA/68/7570 CPL Ibrahim Musa, sustained injuries (WIA).

"Details of the attack on the FOB remain sketchy. However, the Phantom pilot reported observing fire around the FOB and saw scores of soldiers running toward Sabongari, suggesting that the FOB may have been dislodged. Further details of the attack will be provided as soon as they become available.

"The general security situation within the AOR remains fluid. Troops remain on maximum alert."

SaharaReporters is withholding the identities of the slain soldiers because their families had yet to be contacted by the military authorities.

The Nigerian military has yet to issue an official statement regarding the attack.

However, sources indicate that reinforcement efforts are ongoing, and troops are on high alert as they assess the security situation in the area.

Do you like them? Tell me ok.

Lol. Here we go again with the hypocrisy on full display. Hours back, when I posted about Ukraine taking back its land from Russia, you were all over it like a bad rash, laughing your head off, mocking the effort, and even calling the president a comedian.

Let’s apply that same logic to Nigeria. If Nigeria’s army actually manages to crush some terrorists and reclaim territory/base, would you celebrate that, or would you still be too busy throwing shade at your own president by calling him a clown/comedian or even mocking his effort? Is it just that you can’t handle consistency unless it fits your agenda?

Take a good, hard look in the mirror, assuming you can handle the truth staring back at you.
And maybe, just maybe you’ll realize how much you’re embarrassing yourself.
