17 Soldiers Killed On Bama-Gwoza Highway, Scores Abducted In Boko Haram Attack by Racoon(m): 11:17am On Jan 20, 2020
No fewer than 17 soldiers were killed, while many others were abducted in two confrontations on Friday & Saturday between the military and Boko Haram insurgents on Bama-Gwoza highway

It was, however, gathered that the number of casualties on the Boko Haram side were high, although it could not be ascertained as of press time.

The insurgents were said to have initially attacked Firgi, 20 kilometres north of Pulka along the road from Gwoza to Bama on Friday.They were said to have killed 13 soldiers in the crossfire that took over two hours.The insurgents were said to have forced some of the soldiers to retreat.

Sources added that the insurgents carted away some arms, ammunition and vehicles belonging to the Nigerian Army.One of the sources said, “During the crossfire started around 10pm, 13 soldiers were killed with four of their vehicles taken away. “On Saturday, the insurgents came back to the same area to continue from where they left.”

They were said to have attacked a military company at Banki junction on Bama-Gwoza Road around 10pm.
The battle was said to have lasted for about three hours.
Our correspondent gathered that the casualties on the side of the military were four, while that of the insurgents was not known.The insurgents were also said to have abducted some soldiers and carted away arms and ammunition.


Reaction of the military could not be got as text messages to both Col. Sagir Musa, Army spokesman, and Col.Isa Ado, spokesman for the Military Joint Task Force on Counter-Insurgency in the North-East (Operation Lafiya Dole) were not responded to.

Meanwhile, the head of the counter-insurgency operation in the North-East, Maj.Gen.Olusegun Adeniyi, said Boko Haram had failed in the ongoing war against the country.

Speaking at a party organised for the troops in Maiduguri on Saturday, Adeniyi who led a victory dance, said, “Boko Haram has failed, we are not going to let them get an inch of land in Borno, Adamawa and Yobe states.”

Adeniyi, who called out officers and soldiers and guests at the get together to be part of the victory dance, said, “We are happy to dance and shame Boko Haram who do not want us to be happy.”

The Army Chief, who was joined in the dance by the Borno Deputy Governor, Alhaji Usman Kadafur, said, “I have made a covenant to go after Boko Haram, fight Boko Haram and end their menace.”

In his speech, Kadafur said, “We appreciate all the efforts by the military to safeguard our territory.We pray to God for guidance and repose of the souls of those that have paid the supreme price and we asked that God continue to be with their widows and orphans.”

So sad soldiers.You dont deserve to die this way.God rests your souls & comfort your families.The govt of the day delibrately choose to believe that guerrilla warfare is won by lies and propaganda.

Meanwhile why will a general that lost soldiers in this gruesome way to terrorists be involving himself in a dance party? What irresponsibility and unethical behaviour.

They should come and borrow some Amotekun from the Yorubas.

If Boko Haram moves southwards who's gonna protect the SE and SS?

They should form their own vigilantes group NOW to avoid stories that touch the heart.

Meanwhile,
"The pertinent questions Nigerians are asking are: how come Boko Haram still had the kind of audacity displayed in that attack on Nigerian soldiers when the presidency and the military top brass had earlier told us that the terrorist organisation had been “technically defeated”?

"When Buhari appointed a majority of the service chiefs from a particular region and religion, he and his supporters defended it and claimed that even if all his appointees come from one region and religion in a multicultural, multi-religious and multiethnic nation like Nigeria, it means nothing as long as they are competent. Today, nothing exposes the shallowness and puerility of such appointments."

Technically defeated boko haram indeed. And the regime want to withdraw soldiers from North east?
The earlier Nigerians know that buhari's fulani regime and boko haram are the same the better. No govt in the history of Nigeria empowerd islamist terrorists like buhari's regime.

Of couse. Northern soldiers within the army are boko haram members. If Nigerians know the truth of what's really happening in the north, Nigeria will end. This regime is using boko haram to play Taqiyya on Nigerians.
Boko haram and buhari's fulani regime are ONE and they're fighting for the same cause - Sharia Law.
