There are reports that
suspected members of Boko Haram have invaded a military base of
‘Operation Lafiya Dole’ in Borno killing three soldiers.
According
to a report by Vanguard Newspaper, the terrorists invaded the camp
situated in Kamuya village of Buratai ward of Biu Local Government Area
of Borno state.
The members of the
terrorist sect reportedly sacked the soldiers at their duty post and
carted away arms and ammunitions in the camp, which is 6 kilometres to
Buratai, the ancestral home of the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant
General Tukur Buratai.
The
incident according to sources took place on Wednesday, but due to lack
of telecommunication network in the area, as it was hitherto vandalized
by the sect, the information had to be delayed before reaching the
press.
“There was a bloody attack on
a military camp in Kamuya by suspected terrorists on Wednesday. The
attackers first succeeded in sacking the soldiers at their duty post,
after which, they invaded the camp and carted away with huge arms and
ammunitions.
“It was also gathered that three soldiers were feared dead with the setting ablaze of the entire camp,” a source reportedly said.
The military authority are yet to issue any statement on the reported attack.
