Vimtim is thehometown of Nigeria’s Chief of Defense Staff, Alex Badeh. In the battle, which is ongoing at the time of this report, Nigerian troops have killed more than300 Islamist militants.

Nigerian soldiers A soldier who escaped from the fierce battle told SaharaReporters that the heavily armed Boko Haram militants used three helicopters to reinforce their ground attacks against Nigerian troops.The source said Nigerian soldiers fought gallantly and were able to stop the insurgents from capturing Vimtim. He added, however, that Nigerian troops had lost at least eight brand new Armored Personnel Carriers in the battle.

this article is boko haram's side of the story, as you can see that the article does not mention a single casualty on the part of boko haram. Sahara reporter is beginning to look like the media wing of boko haram.

Oops! God help and energize our armies.....

Why are people always against Sahara reporters..... Is it a crime to say things the way it is? Why are Nigerians always afraid of the truth?

IS THIS FOR REAL? MAY THE SOULS OF THE DEPARTED SOLDIERS REST IN PEACE..... 70 GUN SALUTE







meanwhile, the funders of this movement are somewhere chilling... God will judge them...

Media propaganda is the
most deadly weapon in the armory of BokoHaram.

Nice postulation. But your write up could have made more sense and meaning if you wrote like a 21st Century learned fellow and not this mumbo jumbo of a shorthand.

kk

Its not about the pot belly Badeh's hometown
Its about liberating our sovereignty as A nation

@rationalmind, it has not changed the FACT.

Na wa ooo for some Nigerians ooo.... They always fault or marginalize most news agency as if it is easy to gather such info especially when true. If they don't, its another big problem.

Anyway, rip to the brave soldiers and Almighty God will expose those behind these evils either in this world or in the hereafter.

Check my first post on this poo and my previous topics, you will see my stand on that failed media house.

Raiders:

lol.. Bro u funny ooo... but it could be possible.

The headline should have been: “Nigerian Military Kills Over 300 Insurgents, As 70 Soldiers Die In A Fierce Battle” at least to encourage the masses [wrongly]!

my God

Without reading I smell a typical Sahara reporters news. Quote me if I'm wrong.


Will they ever see anything good?

Even if GEJ is the worst president in history, at the least there must be something good in him.
Even the devil does.
