... 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...button men on Friday night carried out another attack on a military base in Borno State, an official said.
The Deputy Governor of Borno State, Usman Durkwa, who confirmed the incident to journalists in Maiduguri on Saturday said the troops and neighbouring communities were attacked in Guzamala Local Government Area of the state.
It was in Gudumbali, the headquarters of Guzamala Local Government Area that the Chief of Army Staff, Tukur Buratai, in July this year, inaugurated a cenotaph to commemorate the killing of about 144 soldiers in an attack by Boko Haram in 2014.
The inauguration was done at the time persons displaced from the liberated community were returning to it.
The deputy governor however said he has no idea of the casualties from Friday's attack.
"It is unfortunate to confirm to you that there was an attack by Boko Haram turbans in a military base and other communities of Gudumbali," he said.
