A commander of one of the Nigerian army’s battalions fighting insurgency in the north-east may have been killed, military sources have told TheCable.

The commander, a lieutenant-colonel, was feared killed by suspected Boko Haram insurgents who attacked a military base in Mainok, Borno state, on Sunday.

Thirteen soldiers were also said to have been killed in the attack.

TheCable had earlier reported how soldiers engaged the insurgents.

But sources who spoke with TheCable said the troops were overpowered by the insurgents who came with “heavy weapons”.

“They had four MRAPs [armoured military vehicles], four gun trucks and other heavy machines,” one of the sources said.

“As I speak, the commanding officer has been hit, and some other soldiers.

“There was air support, but sadly, the air force missed its coordinates and couldn’t eliminate the insurgents.”

Another source also said “the troops have been dislodged from the camp as the insurgents are taking over.”

The insurgents, who were said to have stormed the base at about 2pm on Sunday, disguised in a military convoy and gained access into the premises before shooting sporadically and killing the soldiers.

The insurgents also razed down a police station and looted weapons at the military base.

A military source said the insurgents operated for about two hours before fleeing the scene of the attack.

When contacted, Mohammed Yerima, army spokesperson, said he will provide an update on the attack later

Well you tell us.

Nigeria army has been stretched thin with various internal war it's fighting around the country.

The truth is that water don dey pass garri, Nigeria police and army are now being used as target practice because of bad leadership. They are now an endangered species.

I always put them in my prayer everyday because they are our last line of defense, if they fall Nigeria will collapse.

The army is busy in Imo state..

Some sources are saying 30 now this one is saying 13. Who do we believe in this confusing country

RIP commander

So so Wonderful! So you now have a different thought? You now reason in a different way? You have removed the goggles of bmc & zombiesm to see things unbiasedly and reason like a 21century sound mind. Don't tell me this is the sarrki of yesterday days.

After the Pantami revelation you mean you are still in doubt about what's happening?

Is this the same Sarrki or another one?

The military has failed to arrest or kill Shekau after all these years because we have Pantami boys in the Army who run intel for Boko Haram.

Ikonso was killed due to the fact that some of the ESN members arrested blew his cover and over the years many Boko Haram members have been captured by the Army they even call some of them "repentant Boko Haram" members.

Now the question we should be asking is that all the BH boys that have been captured alive and the ones that have "repented" none of them has been able to tell the Army how to locate Shekau or what is happening?

Nigerians should know that there are Boko Haram members in Buhari's Government.
They are the ones shielding Shekau and wasting the lives of young men of the Military.

I would rather join any armed group calling for secession than join the Army to fight Boko Haram that the government is sponsoring/shielding.


They said Pantami has changed and has apologized for the things he said but I want to ask, the people that were there with him when he was declaring Jihad against Southerners and Christian have the people also change? Many of those people still hold on to Pantami's terrorist agenda and they are all over the place.

Some of them attacked a Church in Kaduna today because what Pantami told them is still strong in their hearts.

All our Army units should relocate to IMO state

All them

We will write this for all to read. Anyone, soldier or not that kills the Fulani takes a loan repayable one day no matter how long it takes....

ESN commander and Army commander, all na commanders.

Those praising the NA for killing the ESN commander will never condemn Boko Haram for killing this one now

Any uprising that goes on beyond 72hrs has the backing of the government. All of these are north's game.

Not sure there will be anything left of NIGERIA By 2023!!!

How did we get here...
4+4 has landed Nigeria into a big problem...

There was air support, but sadly, the air force missed its coordinates and couldn’t eliminate the insurgents.
What a country and its Air Force

Am definitely sure the commander and most of the dead soildiers are going to be from southern nigeria.

Stop spreading lies. Ikonso was well known. They just stopped sleeping at their homes the moment they joined ESN. He was killed unjustly by the criminal Nigerian army when he went home. He was spied on by an idiotic efulefu.

I just don't like talking about IPOB online for so many reasons. I just want to set the record straight.
