Boko Haram attacked a military post near
Damboa town of Borno State on Tuesday, leaving 21 soldiers and five civilians
dead.
The attack reportedly occurred at
Bulabulin-Ngaura village, Premium Times
reports.
The terrorists were said to have arrived in
over ten trucks and motorcycles armed with heavy weapons like rocket launchers,
anti-aircraft and several assault rifles.
“We could not match them because we had Ak47
rifles that are not fully loaded. When we realized that they have taken over
the place, some of us escaped to Maiduguri and other places but many could not
make it. As we were busy engaging them I saw over 16 bodies of my colleagues on
the ground that made me to give up because I was not having enough ammunition
to carry on,” said a soldier.
The soldier also said he believed that some
of his colleagues were abducted.
