15 Soldiers Without Enough Weapons Killed by Boko Haram in Take Over Operation – Report
At least 15 Nigerian soldiers are said to have been killed by Boko Haram today at noon when they set out to recapture Damboa military base.
Sahara Reporters
states that 200 men of the military had been sent out on the operation
to reclaim the base from Islamist militant insurgents who overran it and
took it over a few days ago.
The members of the group allegedly laid
in ambush waiting for the arrival of the soldiers to retake the base.
The group opened fire on the soldiers as soon as they arrived at the
base.
They killed as many as 15, and left
several injured. A source revealed that the soldiers are angry that they
were sent to such a high-risk operation without enough firepower and
troops to take out the Boko Haram insurgents.
