Boko Haram/Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) terrorists have killed a yet-to-be confirmed number of Nigerian soldiers, with many still missing following an attack on a Forward Operating Base in the Damboa Local Government Area of Borno State.
According to security sources, the incident occurred on Saturday, January 4, 2025.
The sources added that the terrorists razed many buildings and military operational vehicles during the attack that lasted over two hours.
25 Taskforce Bde was attacked during the weekend with so many casualties, so far we have recovered over seven bodies,” a source told SaharaReporters on Monday.
“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 says it is committed 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.
