Breaking: Boko Haram Takes Over Military Base in Borno.
Reports has it that Boko-Haram terrorists affiliated with the Islamic State jihadists have taken over a military base in Borno, the AFP news agency reports.
The outlet said the fighters overpowered Nigerian forces in Friday night exchange of fire at the military base in the town of Marte near Lake Chad.
The Nigerian military could not be immediately reached for comments over the development.
The attack comes barely a day after the federal government claimed that no territory is under the control of Boko-Haram.
Femi Adesina, a spokesman to President Muhammadu Buhari had in an article last Thursday said that Nigerians are responsible for the prolonged insecurity in many parts of the country because they failed to offer prayers for front-line soldiers.
“Victory is from God alone. That is what we must realize as Nigerians. Do we ever pray for our troops in the frontlines? Do we remember those youths, our pride, and strength, faced by death daily, as we sleep in the comfort of our homes, ensconced in the tender bosom of our wives?” Mr. Adesina queried.
Ironically, not many Nigerians sleep in comfort, contrary to Mr. Adesina’s claim.
Despite recurring attacks, the Nigerian government continues to boast about conquering insurgency and terrorism with little or no results to show forth for its claims.
