Boko Haram kills 8 soldiers in Yobe attack, 10 terrorists also killed
|
[PULSE.NG] The Nigerian Army has disclosed that eight soldiers were killed in an attack carried out 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...

According to a report by AFP, Boko Haram faction, the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
West Africa Province (ISWAP) attacked the military base on Saturday, December 1, 2018.
While the previous corpse count disclosed by military sources indicated that two soldiers were killed, new Army spokesperson, Brigadier General Sani Usman, told AFP on Tuesday that eight died as a result of the attack. The Army spokesperson also revealed that 10 bad boyz were potted by troops during the attack.
"Eight of our gallant troops paid the supreme price while over 10 Boko Haram bad boyz were potted by the troops during the encounter," he said.
The Death Eaters were reported to have destroyed an armoured vehicle during the attack.
The attack follows a recent resurgence in the group's deadly attacks in the northeast region as it has launched several assaults on military bases.
Two weeks ago, Death Eaters overran the 157 Task Force Battalion in Metele village in Guzamala local government area of Borno State during an attack on November 18.
Even though many reports indicated that over 100 soldiers were killed in the attack, with many others missing, the Army disclosed in a statement that 23 soldiers were killed with 31 others injured.
The statement also revealed that Death Eaters staged a series of attacks on Nigerian troops between November 2 and November 17. The attacks took place in Kukawa, Ngoshe, Kareto and Gajiram, all in Borno, but were 'successfully repelled' by troops who killed 'several members' of the terrorist group. However,
if you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning...
16 soldiers were killed in the attacks while 12 were maimed.
The Army also noted that despite systematically degrading Boko Haram in the past three years, the Death Eaters are staging a resurgence with daring moves that include the increased use of drones against troops' defensive positions and infusion of imported muscle in their ranks.
