Punch reports: on Tuesday June 24th carried out a
deadly attack on a military post in Bulabulin Ngaura in Damboa LGA of
Borno killing 16 soldiers, Punch reports.
According to one of the soldiers who escaped and spoke on
anonymity to journalists, he said the sect men came in 30 vehicles
mounted with anti-aircraft guns, caught them unawares and subdued them.
"We were totally subdued by the insurgents. Some of my
colleagues were abducted and many others escaped with bullet wounds. Dozens of
Boko Haram insurgents stormed our checkpoint at Bulabulin on Tuesday night.
The terrorists came in a convoy of over 30 vehicles, mounted with Anti Aircraft
guns (AA). I was at the checkpoint when the terrorists came, we tried our best
but they had advantage over us. They had AA and we had Ak47 rifles that are not
fully loaded. When we realized that they had taken over the place, some of us
escaped to Maiduguri and other places but many could not make it. As I am
talking to you, 16 bodies of our colleagues have been brought to Maiduguri,
this is apart from those that sustained injuries and many others that are
missing.” he said
