Barely a day after the Abuja and Adamawa Blast,Gunmen suspected to be Boko Haram insurgents have attacked a military
post at Bulabulin Ngaura in Damboa Local Government Area of Borno State,
killing about 16 soldiers. One of the soldiers that narrowly escaped the
attack, who confirmed the incident to journalists in Maiduguri, the state capital yesterday, said,
“We were totally subdued by the insurgents”.The soldier, who recounted what
happened amid sobbing, lamented that “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”.On how he was able to escape unhurt, he said, “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
realised that they have 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; these are besides those that
sustained injuries and many others that are missing in action”.The Defence
Headquarters is yet to deny or confirm that a military post was attacked.
