A military source disclosed to Sahara Reporters that also
many soldiers were murdered when the militants stormed the town in cars
and sports utility vehicles.
The fighters attacked a military
based and civilian targets.
“They attacked as a heavy
group, shooting at both civilians and soldiers. Then one of their Golf cars
laden with explosives sped and hit one of our APC [anti-personnel carrier]
tanks. The collision caused a big explosion that killed many people and seriously
injured many more.
“Our soldiers killed a
number of them. They were so many of them, so there was shooting from all
angles.
Then the assaulters’ car rammed
into the carrier, which led to the explosions.
“The multiple explosions led to
the deaths of dozens of both civilians and soldiers nearby.”
The official information on the
issue is yet to be provided.
The Nigerian military, however, yesterday carried out a successful
operation in Borno state, expelling terrorists from Alagamo forest. The
forest used to be the insurgents’ hideout as it was not easily accessible. This
is one of a series successful operations launched by the army in the fight
against Boko Haram in the country.
