BLOOD BATH! Nigeria Army In Gun Battle With Boko Haram, See The What Happened To Captain, Lieutenant, And 13 Burutai MenBLOOD BATH! Nigeria Army In Gun Battle With Boko Haram, See The What Happened To Captain, Lieutenant, And 13 Burutai Men

Suspected Boko Haram terrorists attacked Magumeri local government area of Borno state – A captain, a lieutenant and 13 soldiers reportedly lost their lives following intense firefight with the insurgents – Nineteen soldiers wounded in the attack have been evacuated to the military hospital in Maiduguri for treatment.


No fewer than 15 Nigerian soldiers have been reportedly killed by suspected Boko Haram terrorists in an attack on a military base in Borno state, security sources said on Saturday, May 4.


Legit News reports that the insurgents rode into Magumeri local government area at about 6pm on Friday, May 3, and sacked a brigade there. Among the 15 soldiers who lost their lives during the attack were a captain and a lieutenant. The identity of the officers has been withheld to allow Nigerian Army enough time to notify their loved ones.


Nineteen soldiers were wounded in the attack and have been evacuated to the military hospital in Maiduguri for treatment. About 24 soldiers who survived the attack have left the base to a safer military facility, sources said.


According to report, the insurgents stole heavy military equipment, including anti-aircraft machine guns and Toyota Hilux vehicles during the attack. The level of casualties against the terrorists is yet unknown. However, the Islamic State in West Africa (ISWA) had already claimed credits for the attack via its propaganda channels.


The Nigerian Army is yet to issue a statement about the attack. This is coming less than two weeks after members of the terrorist group reportedly invaded a base occupied by Nigerian soldiers in Mararrabar Kimba, some kilometres from Maiduguri, capital of Borno state.


No fewer than five soldiers were killed in the attack which happened on April 26, while some are said to still be missing after they retracted during the gun duel.


In a rival video by a Nigeria soldier, it was revealed that the Boko Haram insurgents has been ravaging the camp of the Nigderia Army, saying that the weapons available to them, they lament that it is due to these old weapons that has made them to be constantly humiliated by the Boko Haram insurgent.


Also, in the week there has been a serious debate about the statement by Mohammed, who is the Head of the Humanitarian Assistance and Rehabilitation arm of the PCNI, lamented that Boko Haram has been hijacked and operates like a cartel. “I will give you an example.


The Nigerian military for example, gets N1, 000 per day for being in the North East, at the war front, as an allowance. The same North-East, where if you are a member of Boko Haram you get $3,000 per day as allowance. So it is lucrative. Sometimes, they even give you money upfront. So we must do something about the youth from where they are recruiting.”

Babajide made a Stunning Revelation about the Forthcoming Governorship Election in Edo State

Babajide a veteran journalist, while speaking on the popular program “Journalist Hangout” on TVC news Friday August 7, made a stunning revelation about the forthcoming governorship election in Edo state, says all political parties should shown violence because election is not a do or die affair. Babajide while reacting said “ I have to say I have my fears about these forthcoming election, and I hope my fears does not come past. As we can see the shenanigans in Edo state it is now visible that it is no more Oshiomole against Obaseki, it is now PDP against APC which could be devastating in the light of the politics going on now. Obaseki himself divided the APC, because all the lawmakers in Edo state belong to the APC but he divided them by inaugurating some lawmakers, and refusing to inaugurate others. Right now as it stands 17 lawmakers have decided to align with the APC and just 7 lawmakers is with the Governor. For me I think Obaseki should have averted these problem by just issuing a...

"I've had worse flu, without a doubt - but I wouldn't want to catch it again," he says during his self-isolation at home in south-west London. Despite having type 1 diabetes, Andrew says having the virus "isn't anything to worry about for me personally". He adds that the fever he experienced is "no different to normal flu-type symptoms". "I've not been concerned," he says. The severity of symptoms can vary widely among people. Those who are older and have pre-existing medical conditions (such as asthma, diabetes, heart disease) are more likely to become severely ill and can need hospital treatment.
