The Defence Headquarters has confirmed a surprise attack by Boko Haram/ISWAP terrorists targeting troops engaged in stabilisation operations in Gubio Local Government Area (LGA) of Borno State.

Major General Edward Buba, the Director of Defence Media Operations, in a statement, said five soldiers were killed, ten wounded, and four declared missing during the assault.

He, however, said the troops eliminated several terrorists and recovered weapons.

“The attack resulted in the destruction of equipment, including one gun truck, three TCVs, and an excavator,” the statement said.

He said a reinforcement team, ed by an air component, was dispatched to pursue the attackers.

A military source told Daily Trust that the insurgents launched multiple assaults in an attempt to overrun a special military force stationed in the Kareto community of Gubio LGA.

“The first attack occurred on August 16 at 6:00hrs, where 18 soldiers were killed, and several were injured, with six insurgents neutralized.

“Yesterday, five more soldiers were killed in another attack, while over 30 terrorists were eliminated in subsequent engagements today without further casualties on our side,” the source said.

The special forces had recently arrived in Kareto and begun preparations, such as digging trenches, to facilitate the return of displaced villagers when the insurgents launched their attacks.

These incidents are part of a resurgence of violence in the Lake Chad region, where insurgents have launched frequent assaults despite recent successful operations by the Multi-National t Task Force (MNJTF).

Last month, 40 soldiers were killed during an attack on a military base, prompting Chadian President Mahamat Déby Itno to initiate an operation that neutralised many terrorists and forced their remnants to retreat into Niger Republic.

Meanwhile, the Borno State Government has expressed its condolences to the military following the loss of soldiers during the Boko Haram attack in Kareto, Gubio LGA.

In a statement by the Commissioner for Information and Internal Security, Usman Tar, the government described the incident as a painful reminder of the cruelty of Boko Haram terrorists.

“On behalf of the government and good people of Borno, I convey our heartfelt condolences to the armed forces and families of the deceased over the demise of our fellow compatriots. May Allah rest their souls and grant fortitude to the affected families,” the statement read.

The government reaffirmed its solidarity with the armed forces and its commitment to ing efforts to end insurgency in the region.

Down south, they are brutalizing the armless and innocent citizens. Now they have faced the real terrorists, they can't defend themselves.

Their governors are busy on tax reform.
They have left the main issue.

Na wa o

Bokoharam again??

Won't be surprised if it's the story is reversed by the military......probably 30 soldiers & 5 insurgents kpaied..

meaning 25 soldiers died.Where is Shettima who claimed he would be in charge of security. He should speak to his Boko boys.

5 killed and 4 missing is kinda much.

We need fewer casualties from the gallant NA...

Condolence to the fallen soldiers...

Nigeria will be great.

Salute.

God bless the Nigerian army.


Victory for Nigeria by Gods grace.

Our military are tactless and archaic with a military operating system of 1932.
The Nigerian military has failed in using technology to end this violence by Islamic terrorists ravaging the North close to two decades.
There are sophisticated drones that can be used for surveillance to map out the areas where these terrorists camp. There are also attack drones that can take this war to the camp of the enemy, minimising the loss of men and military hardware.
Of course, not that they don't know what to do, but because someone somewhere have "chopped" the money budgetted for such things. They buy scrapped and refurbished aircraft claiming it is new. This country is a very useless place.
Nigerians are the most wicked people on this planet. We are all in this corruption together, we are all involved with no one exempted. We only criticise because we are not the ones in that position where money and opportunities flows.

If there is anything like reincarnation, God please take me to a country where I will live with normal human beings who contribute to the betterment of the society. If it's not possible, then, abeg you to make me a Cat in Europe or any sane clime instead of bringing me back to Nigeria.

Kudos to our Military 🪖 👏..It is not easy fighting TERRORISTS. They'll surely overcome those Mo*MAD offspring..


FG should seek for IDF Assistance

Boko Haram has been doing this for more than 10 years and these guys are not even getting defeated. The only way to stop them is to go after their sponsors.

Do you know what will happen next? Nothing. The dead buried and family paid. Clean up take place. Money embezzled and back to normal as if nothing happened.
If it is civilians or in the south hmmm . It won't end there. Army will be planning a crushing response.
Whole Nigerian army cannot call in more troops and air logistics to continue the repel and now hunt them all down. Don't stop. Until they are followed and hounded to their enclave and wiped out or arrested. It's like the army likes living along side these terrorist. Maybe it is a symbiosis relationship. In Nigeria!! We have a large army and large military budget and insecurity is running wild. In Nigeria armed robbery might be understood but why should it be in any part of the country any group be armed with so much as an AK47. If it hunger anyone to carry AK47 let them go army or police ( I know say some of them don already)

And who says they don't kill them in the north?
The number of bh that has been killed is ×100 of Ipob .
The war is real,.
Jonathan was there , he could not do anything.
Buhari was there, it was worst.
Tinubu has come and it has reduced drastically .
Then let's be grateful.

May their souls R.I.P

So, boko haram is still active?

30 terrorists. Always 30.

This BK aram boys no dey finish ni?

APc and Tinubu is a failure


They've been failing since 2015

How can terrorists without any professional training attack our soldiers and kill 18 soldiers and our trained soldiers kills only 6 of them?
You mean to tell me our soldiers don't have intel? And these boko boys have intel on when the soldiers aren't prepared to attack them.
What's the work of national intelligence agency and defense intelligence agency if not recon and intel please?

Islam is the cause of all of this..

Death to all head slamming mohammadian terrorists

God bless the good people of Southsouth and

Nigerian army only knows how to harrass and brutalize Innocent citizens. How I wish Boko haram is the Nigerian army 😄

The b/haram nurtured by those who wanted power at all cost keeps costing innocent men their lives.

The question is will the military re-enforce and burn down the surrounding communities as they normally do in the South.

What they will not tell us is that the insurgents looted their new ammunition purchased with tax payer's money. Few hours from now the insurgents will parade it on TikTok for the world to see.

Military intel is leaked to them by terrorist sympathizers in the Army

I am beginning to see our security men defeating the deadly boko haram

You and who military
Any Igboman that's using "our military" for Nigeria's Army is an ediot
Nigeria's army is anti-Igbo and not "our army/military".
So, we don't care how many of them are kiilled by the Boko Haram they've been pampering or by the IPOB they hate so much on ethnoreligious grounds.
