Boko Haram are engaging in what could be termed their last fights. There was intense gun battle in Borno on Wednesday night as a huge number of Boko Haram terrorists stormed a military base in Yobe with the intention of dislodging the troops and taking over the location.
The Boko Haram killers are quite ambitious.
Military insiders told Premium Times that the terrorists stormed the base in Kamuya at 5:30 p.m. from three different directions shooting non-stop for over 30 minutes.
Because the attack was unexpected and the terrorists were in such a large number than the officers and men at the camp, the troops initially withdrew, our sources said.
However, a reinforcement was quickly sent from Buni Yadi to join the troop on ground.
After hours of intense fighting, the troops were able to retake the camps, with the terrorists fleeing.
A large number of Boko Haram terrorists were said to have been killed in battle with some fleeing the scene with gunshot wounds.
