EXCLUSIVE: 30 Nigerian Soldiers Killed As Boko Haram Sacks Military Base In Borno
‪The insurgents also set ablaze a Nigerian army tanker and some buildings in the military base.

Militants from the Islamic State-backed faction of Boko Haram, the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), formerly known as Jamā'at Ahl as-Sunnah lid-Da'wah wa'l-Jihād on Sunday attacked a Nigerian Army location at 156 Battalion in Mainok area, Borno State, killing over 30 soldiers, military sources told SaharaReporters.

Mainok is the headquarters of the Kaga Local Government Area of Borno state.

SaharaReporters gathered that the terrorists who came in no fewer than 15 gun trucks also burnt down the military base.

A source said the gunmen came in different groups and could not be counted.

He added that about 30 Nigerian soldiers were killed while others fled into the bush.

‪The insurgents also set ablaze a Nigerian army tanker and some buildings in the military base.

“The military super camp in Borno was attacked today by Boko Haram members with our men putting up a strong fight to defend base and ward off the insurgents.

“But despite their gallant efforts, the soldiers were overwhelmed because they could not withstand the superior firepower of the terrorists. So far, we have recovered over 30 bodies of dead soldiers,” a source told SaharaReporters.

Boko Haram and its offshoot, Islamic State West Africa Province, have killed thousands and displaced millions in North-Eastern Nigeria.

The Nigerian military has repeatedly claimed that the insurgency had been largely defeated and frequently underplays any losses.

In the past months, soldiers have been targeted by the insurgents, who lay ambush on their path.

Hundreds of soldiers and officers have been reportedly killed since January 2021.

At least 33 soldiers were recently killed when two explosive-laden vehicles rammed into a military convoy in Wulgo.

The suicide bombers were identified as Abu Bakr al-Siddiq and Bana Jundullah. The group also claimed four military vehicles were destroyed.

In February, about 20 soldiers were also killed in Malari, Borno State by the insurgents.

SaharaReporters gathered that the soldiers were on patrol to clear some Boko Haram elements in the area following credible intelligence when they were ambushed by the group.

The government will still come out to say only your died.

The govt could have used ESN to fight a common enemy(the enemy of my enemy is my friend) and tend to them afterwards but instead they decided to fight on two fronts now they are sacrificing poor soldiers everywhere

It's as if when the soldiers annihilate Boko haram men, they resurgent again.

Let us not rejoice because it is happening in Borno state. We have to voice out before they take over the whole state.

No one is safe.

Good news. By the time the some useless indigenous people realizes that the presidency is using their politicians to fight their proxy wars against their own people, it will be too late.

For Biafra, we rather die than to be a slave in our land.
The sabotuars are few and we outnumber them.

Biafrans, do not be afraid of death. If death is the price to pay for our children to be free, it be honorable for me to die for my Children to be free. We cannot be cowed.

Victory is certain

It is not only a mole, it is Nigerian army of boko haram recruited by Buhari in 2016/17.
He absorbed repented terrorists into Nigerian army.
He recruited civilian JTF and vigilante into Nigerian army.
Buhari is a man made disaster.
Nigeria ended on 31st December 2014.
What you have now is a ghost of a nation.
