Suspected fighters of the Islamic State of West Africa Province(ISWAP) are currently in a gun duel with troops at a military base in Askira/Uba Local Government Area of Borno State.

Some civilians said they sighted the ISWAP fighters in a long convoy of gun trucks along Ngude axis towards Askira, early this morning.

The civilians claimed they reported the movement of the terrorists to security forces but no action was taken before the deadly group stormed Askira town hours later.

While confirming the attacks, Engr Abdullahi Musa Askira, Deputy Speaker of Borno House Assembly, told our correspondent that the insurgents and troops are currently exchanging gunfire.

“Yes, ISWAP is currently attacking Askira town. I was reliably informed that our troops are fighting them, but the residents are in the bush.

“My people told me that the insurgents came with about 16 gun trucks and there is confusion in the whole town now,” Engr. Askira said.

A member of civilians JTF, Yakubu Luka, said immediately the attackers stormed the town, they went to the military base.

“We are expecting a reinforcement from the nearby community, as I am speaking with you heavy gunfire is ongoing.”

“We are appealing to the authorities to send fighter jets to support the ground soldiers. We are outnumbered; we only have five gun trucks with us.” Yakubu said.

The causality figures could not be ascertained as at the time of filing this report.

Pray for which ASKIRA?

You guys better face your problem and call on Major Gen. M. Buhari (rtd) who you all voted massively to help you.

This is serious ... But why is Buhari missing in action

.

Use your islamic incantations to stop them they are your brothers

An attack on Boko Haram is an attack on the North- Muhammudu Buhari

Terrorists attack again.

Solutionmaster1:
When will these attacks end?

Next Tomorrow

It's like you've forgotten the country you're in..... Anything Terrorism in the Animal husbandry region is probably not ending anytime soon....

You can't defeat your demons If you enjoy their company....

And clearly the northern elites are really Enjoying the company of these their brothers ( ISWAP )

Oh not again, I believe some saboteurs in our armed forces are doing us great disservice, this is the failure of intelligence.

I can see that the No picture gang when a report of Soldiers striking terrorists are here happily believing this one to massage their disappointed ego.


I repeat, if killing in Nigeria is as high as reported over 10years now, some LGA are supposed to have gone into extinction

With all the reported killings and hunger, we are still over populated leading to our poor GDP/capita.

Ok
