[DAILYPOST.NG] Troops yesterday evening repelled an attack by Boko Haram
... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality...
gunnies in Borno.

The troops are involved in the clearance and rescue operations in Sambisa forest nicknamed "Operation CRACKDOWN".

Col. Sani Usman, Army front man, said the gunnies came in 5 Toyota Hilux vehicles mounted with Anti-Aircraft guns which they fired along with 81mm mortar.

Troops immediately returned fire and pursued the gunnies that withdrew in disarray towards the river line of Izza-Mainyakare axis, he stated.

"The attack lasted for about 40 minutes without any casualty on our troops while a number of Boko Haram bad boyz were potted, " Usman said.

The troops, however, recovered an 81mm mortar tube from the terrorists.
