Troops Repel ISWAP Attack On Military Base In Borno by SlavaUkraini(op): 6:50am On Dec 14, 2025

Troops of the Nigerian army foiled an attack by the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) terrorists on the forward operating base (FOB) Mairari in Borno, on Friday.

Citing sources, Zagazola Makama, a counter-insurgency publication, reported on Saturday that the troops killed several of the terrorists during the counter operation and wounded others.

The army also neutralised two vehicle-borne improvised explosive devices (VBIEDs), resulting in significant damage to the road at two separate points.

The counter operation was led by troops of sector 3 stabilisation operation, supported by the theatre command quick reaction force, the Nigeria police crack team, and members of the civilian joint task force (CJTF).

“During the exploitation, troops discovered several terrorist corpses and recovered assorted items, including five motorcycles, two android phones, AK-47 rifles, a belt containing 165 rounds of PKT ammunition, five AK-47 magazines loaded with 30 rounds each, and 59 rounds of 7.62mm special ammunition,” Zagazola quoted the sources as saying.

They added that other items recovered included blankets, a hand grenade, a combat boot, a flak jacket, plastic bottles containing engine oil, a stretcher, a wristwatch, a camel bag, spinners, and a motorcycle pump.

No casualty was recorded on the side of the troops.

All the military does is sit back in the base and wait for ISWAP/bokoharam attacks they can repel and then rush to press to inform us of a successful repel

Defensive military strategy doesn't work in 2025. How many times are we going to say this?
Our military is built around defense philosophy and that's no longer working in modern times especially for a military fighting terrorism. We need to learn from Israel . Even the Almighty USA that switched to defensive position after the world war in the interest of world peace have switched back to offensive and renamed their defense department to department of war

What kind of military wait for an attack for goodness sake. The worst of it all is that the Army will report it with much pride and pompousity with that their repetitive phrase that the attack was repeal with the "Superior fire power of the Army".

The Nigerian military is now a shadow of itself. It's no longer the regional military power house of the then ECOMOG. It has been reduced to a cowardly organisation due to corruption, tribal and religious sentiments that have taken root in the system.

A disgraced country indeed.

Same strategy will not give a different result, by now the entire defence and security structure should have been revamped, smoke these guys out from anywhere they are in, strangulate their source of resources, prosecute their known sponsors, monitor every inflow of cash in and out of the country

Any large funds must have a serious reason for being transacted, they won't survive that way, but sitting back waiting for them, gives them room to plan a large scale attack, im very sure, they would still attack again

What could they have done better? You should have gone to join the army to fight the terrorists naa! Soldiers are out there sacrificing their lives for you....and all some of you do is sit at your home, carry phone and be typing rubbish on social media.

They don't know jack. The present Nigeria military is compromised and ridden with corruption. Too many beer parlour quota generals with no battle field experience. They complicated the issue by allowing terrorists to infiltrate them

It's a strategy to prolong this battle forever. No intelligence gathering, no technological advancement, not even motion detectors, early warning system, satellite monitoring, drone warfare, nothing!

The military needs to start being proactive. Locate the camps of the terrorists and target them. Hoping to keep repelling attacks is only giving the terrorists more room to re-strategize and plot out your area of weaknesses.
