Nigeria: Troops Thwart Boko Haram Assault in Malam Fatori, Recover Unexploded Bombs
By: Our Reporter
The resilience of the Nigerian Army was put to the test as Boko Haram militants attempted to infiltrate the military camp at Malam Fatori.
Malam Fatori is located in the northern part of Borno State, about 300km from Maiduguri, the epicenter of the Boko Haram insurgency.
The soldiers remained vigilant and swiftly responded with a barrage of heavy firepower, forcing the terrorists to retreat. Notably, during the engagement, six unexploded bombs were discovered as the terrorists abandoned and fled into the bush.
During the night hours, the insurgents made yet another daring attempt to assail the troops’ stronghold. However, the determined troops mounted a formidable defense, successfully repelling the attack and driving the terrorists back.
“This pattern of repeated assaults on military positions by Boko Haram is not uncommon. It is customary for these terrorists to persist in their efforts over the coming hours and days.” A senior officer in the base told ABC News
According to him, the conflict in the northeast must be won by the Nigerian military at all costs.
He said that currently there has been a setback in the operation owing to the not-so-good relationship with the Niger Republic, as soldiers cannot pursue terrorists beyond the border with the Niger Republic.
“Many terrorist hubs are now in the Niger Republic, and we cannot go outside our borders to get them. That is why there is an increase in the number of attacks in place, like Gaidam in Yobe State, and continuing encounters here in Borno State.” He added.
