Commanding Officer Shot Dead As Boko Haram Hits Another Military Base In Borno by ogododo(op): 12:38pm On Mar 09
Boko Haram terrorists have overrun another military camp in Borno State, killing the commanding officer and other officers.

The latest attack happened in Kukawa Local Government Area of Borno State in the early hours of Monday.

A source from the town revealed that the insurgents attacked the military base around 12:30am.

They (terrorists) stormed the town from multiple directions and launched an attack on the military camp,” the source said.

Another security source said that the insurgents dislodged the troops from the base, set vehicles ablaze and carted away ammunition.

“I cannot say much about the casualties but it’s very sad that we also lost the CO (commanding officer) here,” one of the security sources said

Last month, the insurgents had attacked the military base but the gallant troops repelled the attack, killing many terrorists.

The brave response was commended by the community, which earned the Commanding Officer accolade and he was widely celebrated, particularly on social media.

The lawmaker representing Kukawa LGA in the Borno State House of Assembly, Karta Maina Ma’aji Lawan, also celebrated with the troops at the time.

Commenting on the latest attack, the lawmaker said it was sad that the military base was overrun this time around.

The attack comes after terrorists attacked a military base and Internally Displaced Persons camp in Ngoshe town, Gwoza Local Government Area of Borno, killing an unspecified number of soldiers and civilians.

Na wa o! These terrorists just dey chop Nigerian senior military officers, exactly just as Israel dey do Iran. Just last year to this year so far, these Islamic terrorists have terminated top Nigerian military coordinators. Attacking/chasing/killing soldiers right from their (our)bases, and each base formation contains at least a hundred soldiers in it. No wonder these terror murdas are always seen in our military outfit..

Nigerians made their terrible mistake in modern history voting the APCheat into power...

I heard boko haram hit and burnt over 4 military bases simultaneously last week March 5th and nobody is talking


If we said tinubu is incompetent people will say what would Obi had done.


More than 4 bases were overrun and soldiers killed and boko haram released a videos reported by Sahara reporter where they recorded the attacks


Boko haram now uses night vision camera or Google

APC has been giving amnesty to them and city boy has been negotiating with them, but he locks up freedom fighter Kanu.

If terrorists can conveniently attack a military base, then nowhere is safe in Nigeria
Re: Commanding Officer Shot Dead As Boko Haram Hits Another Military Base In Borno by Endougs(m): 3:16pm On Mar 09
My heart is heavy reading this report. The loss of brave officers in such a tragic attack is deeply painful. These men and women put their lives on the line every day to protect our communities, and it is heartbreaking that such sacrifice continues to be met with violence.

Tinubu will handle the economy while Shetima will handle the Insecurities...

I wonder what promises they are planning to make this time around.

Daniel Bwala: "The context of this attack is not getting worse"

Tinubu went to Turkey, look at this glass of water...

Congrats to Bwala too who is satisfied with the crumbs that he could manage to pick while Bulaba was running.

He is so content from leftover he became unaware of everything.

Something really is wrong with Nigeria and the folks at the helm affairs have a fair idea what it is. It remains to be seen whether we all are ready to rise up to the occasion. I feel for our soldiers who are dying cheaply!!
Re: Commanding Officer Shot Dead As Boko Haram Hits Another Military Base In Borno by Funkyswagzz(m): 3:19pm On Mar 09
If this was IPOB we won't rest until a certain group of people will make the whole world hear about it but as for boko haram it's a normal thing.
Re: Commanding Officer Shot Dead As Boko Haram Hits Another Military Base In Borno by delzbaba(m): 3:20pm On Mar 09
See what integrating repentant criminals into the armed forces has caused us, why is the criminality still surviving after more than twenty years in Nigeria? its corruption, greed and religious intolerance, i cam=n expatiate on all the causes but i will reserve my comments.
Re: Commanding Officer Shot Dead As Boko Haram Hits Another Military Base In Borno by Mindlog: 3:20pm On Mar 09
What would the families of the killed military personnel benefit from Nigeria, for that sacrifice?
Re: Commanding Officer Shot Dead As Boko Haram Hits Another Military Base In Borno by Satazaa: 3:21pm On Mar 09
Despite the monumental level of unemployment in Nigeria the Army are going to be having a hard time convincing able bodied men to join its rank and file cadres, on the contrary I know lots of people here in Nigeria that are dying to go and join the US Army
Re: Commanding Officer Shot Dead As Boko Haram Hits Another Military Base In Borno by Mathewrichard99: 3:21pm On Mar 09
The NSA ain't doing jack to stop his rampaging brothers and cousins from continuous attack on Nigeria security.

How dare the government is complaining about lack of interest in enlisting into Nigeria Army.

Government characters and body language is shouting come, enlist and die, come, enlist and die....

Nigerians would rather stay in their houses hungry than to go to Boko Harams and other insurgents enclaves and say here I come to be slaughter as sent by Nigeria government....

Lol... Even if everybody joins that unserious military, Boko Haram will still overrun them.

The military's problem is not lack of numbers... It's all of the following:

1. Poor training of the personnel on Modern and Guerrilla warfare.
2. MASSIVE CORRUPTION.
3. Poor leadership at all levels.

We all know that the Nigeria government is unreasonable, saying otherwise is Bwala.

Watch as how the NA and the presidency keep quiet about this again.
