Islamic State says killed or wounded more than 40 Nigerian soldiers - Amaq

CAIRO (Reuters) - Islamic State said via its Amaq news agency that it killed or wounded more than 40 soldiers in the northeast Nigerian state of Borno in two separate attacks on Tuesday.

The group said militants attacked a military post in Baga and killed at least 15 soldiers before carrying out a second attack on an army barracks in the town of Benisheik, where they killed around 25 more.

Locals and military sources told Reuters there were clashes between insurgents and soldiers in the state on Monday and Tuesday. Reuters was unable to immediately verify the number of people killed or injured in those clashes.

An army spokesman did not immediately respond to phone calls requesting comment.

More than 30,000 people have been killed in northeast Nigeria since 2009 in an Islamist insurgency.

At the weekend at least 65 people were killed in Borno, the birthplace of the insurgency, when militants targeted civilians travelling from a funeral.

Thesame Soldiers that you have killed pleaded to retrain and re-integrate 151 repentant members of your ISWA into Nigerian Society.

Biting the Fingers that are feeding you eh?

I pity the families of those dead soldiers. Their wives and kids will wait for eternity hoping they’re alive. I pity this country.

Clap for yourself, fools

Weldon. Good job and great job!

There is no different between nigeria army and boko haram terrorist.


Make una kill unaselves.

RIP soldiers

This is serious oooooo

Oh Lord have mercy on Nigeria ooooo, Ha! I only really pity their parents

And your captured and repentant members are released to the society hoping one of them can become Nigerian President someday. The nation is doomed I must say.

Chaiii.
Father lord.
I,my family, friends and village ppl did not vote nor support this devilish change.
May the negative effect and bloodshed associated with this devilish change be restricted to d voters and supporters of change in Jesus mighty name.Amen

We know u killed them and God will punish u for that

What would we think of a government that banned /restricted forex for milk? Would we good citizens think it over-reaching, even oppressive? Would we condemn it? Would we assume its policy-makers/CBN and many of its citizens were deeply out of touch with facts? Would we judge it as foolhardy in the extreme? Or, would we fail to notice?

And dem go dey deny! Then one soldier, becos na oga wey no dey go field go fight say those killers wey repent go fit become Naija presido! Now they are at the tribunal challenging Atiku's nationality, claiming he's not Nigerian. At this rate, one dirty fulani from Niger or Chad, after repenting from BH activities, will become presidential candidate of northern Nigeria!

The news should be


We Killed 40 Python Dancers, Islamic State Claims.

We know you guys killed more, either by suicide or by other means.....but no try near other states aside from una Islamic states ooo!!!

I only pity those wey no go school that are entering the armed forces.....Nigeria is not worth dying for, no matter how it goes down.

It's a pity!
RIP to the death soldiers
RIP Nigeria

This figure means 4 to Liar Mohammed...

Being a soldier here in Nigeria is just like a suicide mission. How would you give soldiers a totaled, outdated guns and machines to fight an advanced terrorist with sophisticated weapons?

The fact still remains that the governments no longer cares, although many soldiers had died fighting terrorist ,but if it were to be in the USA this is happening, their president will surely tackle it.

What does it take the president to apply full force and make it hot on those terrorists, just send battalions and regiment of soldiers to barricade and surround borno state as a whole and attack from all angles without the exception of airforce.



As a soldier man now, you walk on the street with your shoulder up like you are God, you talk to people anyhow because you are in your uniform, you disobey traffic rules and bash someone else's car and claim MR right , then you feel you can do anyhow like you are above the law.


Learn from US soldiers, befriendly and try to help people and not showing them you are high or taking them to be inferior.


We just need revolution in this country. I get so exasperated when i hear news of fallen soldiers.

THIS COULD BE TRUE !

WonderManly:
Weldon. Good job and great job!

Mumu!
See what hate is doing to you?

thaoriginator:
Soliders killed and some fools are happy.
Bunch of bastards!

Just because PDP is not in power

This is terrible and they claim to be fighting for their religion and those who call themselves true followers are hypocritical by being silent or feebly claim that they are not members of their religion

Hhmmm! Ona death too de come.
