Scores of Nigerian soldiers have been reportedly killed, with many still missing, as Boko Haram/Islamic State West Africa Province terrorists attacked a Forward Operating Base in the Damboa Local Government Area of Borno State.
It was gathered that the incident occurred last weekend.
A video sighted by The Point revealed that the terrorists razed many buildings and military operational vehicles during the attack that lasted over two hours.
According to a source, “25 Taskforce Bde was attacked during the weekend with so many casualties. So far, we have recovered over seven bodies.
“The terror group invaded the camp FOB Sabon Gari around 4am on Saturday, using various weapons.”
Since the death of JAS leader, Abubakar Shekau, ISWAP has been consolidating its grip in locations around Lake Chad.
The sect’s membership has swollen with the defection of hundreds of Boko Haram fighters.
The Nigerian Army had expressed its commitment to wiping out the terrorism from the country.
The terror group has killed many people and displaced millions of individuals mainly in Adamawa, Borno, and Yobe States.
