At least 16 soldiers have been killed after
suspected to be members of Boko Haram sect
attacked a military post at Bulabulin Ngaura in
Damboa local government area of Borno State.
A soldier that narrowly escaped the attack while
recounting his ordeal to journalists in Maiduguri,
said the terrorists totally subdued the soldiers.
“Some of my colleagues were abducted and many
others escaped with bullet wounds. Dozens of
Boko Haram insurgents stormed our checkpoint at
Bulabulin on Tuesday night," he recounted.
“The terrorists came in a convoy of over 30
vehicles, mounted with Anti-Aircraft guns (AA). I
was at the checkpoint when the terrorists came, we
tried our best but they had advantage over us.
They had AA and we had AK 47 rifles that are not
fully loaded," continued the soldier.
He said when they realized terrorists had taken
over the place, some soldiers escaped to
Maiduguri and other places but many could not
make it.
“As I am talking to you, 16 bodies of our
colleagues have been brought to Maiduguri. This
is besides those that sustain injuries and many
others that are missing in action.”
