Boko Haram Kill 12
Soldiers, 7
Policemen In Separate
Attacks In
Borno – JTF Boss.
Twelve soldiers and seven
policemen were killed in
recent
attacks in Borno by
suspected
members of the Boko
Haram,
the commander of the
military
Joint Task Force (JTF),
Major
General Jah Ewansiah, has
said.
The military had last week
denied that up to a dozen
officers were killed in the
Malumfatori attack on
soldiers
by the Boko Haram on
August 4.
The JTF spokesman had
claimed
in a statement that only
two
soldiers and a policeman
were
killed in the attack as well
as
another attack in Bama.
The JTF, like the Nigerian
military, is notorious for
reducing
or denying casualty of
soldiers,
security officials, and
civilians in
operations against
insurgents
and criminals.
Mr. Ewansiah, however,
revealed
the casualty to the Borno
State
Governor, Kashim
Shettima,
when the latter visited the
JTF
headquarters on Friday to
condole with the Task
Force over
the ugly occurrence.
‘We have lost 12 soldiers
in
Malumfatori and seven
policemen in Bama
attacks. But
despite that the JTF is
resolute
and committed to ensure
that
peace is completely
restored in
Borno state, even if it
means
losing their lives,” Mr.
Ewansiah
said.
The governor donated N1
million
to the families of each of
the
deceased soldiers and
policemen.
The JTF had earlier
claimed that
