BREAKING: Boko Haram Attack Borno Base, Soldiers Claim They Killed Many Insurgents As Vehicles, Equipment Burnt; Seek Reinforcements

The soldiers, however, said several of their colleagues sustained injuries during the attack.

A yet-to-be-confirmed number of soldiers were injured in an overnight attack on a military base in Borno State by suspected Boko Haram terrorists.

Military sources told SaharaReporters that the attack occurred in the early hours of Monday when the insurgents launched an assault on the Forward Operation Base in Gajiram, headquarters of Nganzai Local Government Area of Borno State.

In several distress voice notes obtained by SaharaReporters from injured soldiers at the base, the troops said the terrorists stormed the military facility in large numbers at about 1:00 a.m., allegedly with the aim of overrunning the location.

“God Almighty is on our side. We overpowered them that overnight with superior firing from all corners of the base. We killed many of them,” one of the soldiers said.
