Boko Haram Attacks Borno Military Base and Kills Dozens of Soldiers
Boko Haram insurgents have launched a devastating assault on a military base in Sabon Gari, Damboa Local Government Area of Borno State, leaving dozens of soldiers and vigilantes dead and seizing military weapons.
The attack, which happened on Saturday around 4 p.m., was confirmed by security and local sources on Monday.
According to reports, the insurgents, armed with sophisticated weapons, attacked in large numbers, overwhelming the troops despite a strong defensive effort.
A security source described the incident as one of the deadliest attacks the base had faced, revealing that the insurgents not only killed many personnel but also looted all military equipment.
“The base has survived over 100 attacks in the past, but this was catastrophic.
They killed soldiers and vigilantes, seized weapons, and destroyed operational vehicles and buildings,” the source explained.
Reports also indicate that the insurgents used a surveillance drone to gather intelligence before the attack.
“Initially, we thought the drone was part of a routine military operation,” the source added.
A viral clip has made its way online showing a police officer in Delta State shooting a suspect who had already been restrained.
It can be noted that the suspect was pleading, claiming he had been framed and deceived, and said he would lead them to the right place.
However, while he was pleading, the police officer shot him. The officer later stated that the suspect was armed with a gun.
It was later revealed that the police officer has been arrested, as it is against the law to shoot a restrained suspect.
It was reported by the Kogi State Government that 24 children were abducted from an orphanage home. It was shared that this happened on the 26th of April, Sunday, and gunmen were seen in the area that day.
The information was shared by the Commissioner of Information, Kingsley Fanwo, who shared this sad news and described it as unfortunate.
“We condemn in strong terms the abduction of innocent children from an orphanage, the government is working closely with security operatives to ensure their safe return,”
