[PULSE.NG] The Nigerian Army on Tuesday said its troops had repelled attack coordinated 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...

In a statement, Col. Onyema Nwachukwu, the Deputy Director, Army Public Relations, said the Death Eaters had on Monday at about 6: 30 pm, attacked a Military Forward Operational Base, in Kukareta community of Yobe.

Nwachukwu said that the gallant troops engaged the Death Eaters in fierce battle and repelled the attack, killing many of them, adding that a soldier was maimed in the attack.

He disclosed that 13 soldiers and two police personnel also bit the dust when they run into an ambush by the Death Eaters on Damaturu-Maiduguri Road.

"In another encounter; troops of 1 Division on escort duty along Damaturu ‐ Maiduguri Road, yesterday fought through an ambush staged by Boko Haram terrorists.

"The gallant troops engaged the faceless myrmidons in a fire fight, courageously wading through the ambush. Sadly, thirteen military and a police personnel including an officer, paid the supreme price while extricating themselves from the ambush.

"A clearance operation to pursue and eliminate the Boko Haram terrorists’ ambush party is still ongoing," he said.

According to him, bodies of the gallant soldiers and the maimed were evacuated, adding that the maimed soldier was currently receiving treatment.
