Breaking News: Boko Haram Attacks Bama In Borno by Ktwice(m): 3:49pm On Sep 01, 2014 |
In what has been described as an expansion drive of the Boko Haram caliphate, it early this morning, launched an attack on Bama, one of the few major towns in Borno State still out of the control of the dreaded Islamist sect. It was gathered that the insurgents stormed the town in their hundreds, early Monday morning, but were repelled by the military who fought to push them back. The soldiers attached to the Nigerian Army barracks located in the town were called to task and after engaging the insurgents for over an hour of heavy bombardment, they were able to repel them, according to sources. A source said the soldiers were successful in driving the insurgents back through the bush. Though the actual number of casualties could not be ascertained, it was gathered that not less than 20 persons were killed. It was also gathered that there is a massive exodus of residents from the town, which is about 64km from Maiduguri, the Borno State capital as residents fear the insurgents might return back heavily armed on a retaliatory mission.
