Suspected Boko Haram terrorists have attacked the newly resettled Yamtake community in Gwoza Local Government Area of Borno State, killing two soldiers and an undisclosed number of civilians.

Security and local sources confirmed the attack, saying the assailants invaded the communities around 11:15pm on Thursday.

One of the military sources said before a reinforcement team was sent from Gwoza, the damage had bee done as the attackers stormed Yamtake military formation.

“We are waiting for the reinforcement team to return, but we learnt that two of our men and other civilians were affected. I advise we wait until they return,” he said.

However, Senator Ali Ndume, (APC, Borno South), said he had been in touch with the people of Yamtake community since the incident happened.

“It is unfortunate that our people in Yamtake village came under deadly Boko Haram invasion last night (Thursday). It’s one of the communities that received its IDPs recently, they were resettled by Borno State Government.”

“It is very sad that two soldiers paid the supreme price, while an unspecified number of innocent civilians were among the casualties. May their gentle souls rest in peace.

“But let me also commend Brig. Gen. Nasir Abdullahi, the Brigade Commander 26 Task Force and his gallant troops for their unwavering sacrifices and doggedness in repelling several attacks, especially those targeted at Gwoza town.

“I was reliably informed that the attackers after wreaking havoc in Yamtake made an attempt to infiltrate Gwoza town, but the troops played a gallant role to repel the attack. On several occasions, troops lay ambush in and around Gwoza town which helped in preventing terrorists who are making all efforts to dislodge Gwoza people living in the Council Headquarters.

“In the past one month, several communities in Borno South, North and Central Senatorial Districts witnessed deadly Boko Haram attacks without confrontation. The situation is worrisome.

“Let me therefore use this opportunity to advocate for the setting up of Armed Community Defence to complement the efforts of the military. This is because men of the Civilian t Task Force (CJTF), hunters and vigilantes have been doing their best, but they have limitations, as they only carry den guns, sticks which they found it very difficult to confront the terrorists.

“More so, I want to reiterate my calls on the federal government and the Nigerian Military to deploy Technology, Equipment, Arms and Ammunition, Motivation (TEAAM), which is the only way to end the over decade Boko Haram atrocities in Borno, North East and other parts of the country,” he added

Recall that on April 12, 2025, eight engers of a commercial vehicle that drove on landmine planted by suspected Boko Haram killed 8 persons and injured over 17 others, along Damboa-Maiduguri Highway.

On January 24, 2025, Malam-Fatori Military asbe was attacked by Boko Haram insurgents who killed22 soldiers, including a commanding officer. Lots of military assets were also destroyed.

On March 24, 2025, suspected Boko Haram and ISWAP fighters attacked Wajiroko and Wulgo bases, killing at least four soldiers and damaging critical infrastructure.

Will the soldiers reinforce and raze down the whole community like they do in the south Or they will let it slide ?

Nlfpmod, Shettima is in charge of security. Yet, 390 deradicalirised Boko Haram have been free in Gombe.

Nlfpmod, this country is in trouble!

Waiting for northerners protest and compensation to the victim’s family

Where is that fool that was asking VDM TO apologize to the sultan of sokoto. I hope he makes a video to condemn this act. Nigeria will only move forward when she is separated from the core North

Nigeria at war?

The Chief of Staff Musa needs to be sacked

Thought we finished them off 3 years ago?

Emilokan
even if Nigeria burns

They will keep attacking and running away, you don't repel attack.... Take the war into their hidden places and have peace.

How long will this cowardice continue? Keep defending without showing a show of force of attack won't solve this.

The two Soldiers that lost their lives, what is the army revenge on this?

When Governor Zulum raised alarm, people like helinues asked him to shut up

Tinibu should push for referendum now...... So the North can be on their own..... It's their fight... South defend your territory

FreeStuffsNG, yarimo, WriterNG, helinues, CoronaVirus, God1000, madridguy, other unscrupulous elements. Tinubu dey craze, he ran away from zoo to saner clime just to take Injections.

God please help this nation. It is just scary.

Where is that Tinubu's slave who said security has improved because they no longer attack military men.

Many people from certain area won't comment on this

And you want Edo and Igbo to ?

What are the names of the soldiers ?

Naija na cruise

Killings everyday.
Where is my turn man?

You won't hear pim from that useless Senator Ndume.... Longest serving senator isonu

Mortality Rate is far more than fertility rate.
The rate at which Nigerians are being killed, I'm afraid, we may wake up one morning to see that the country is empty

The Lake Chad region is Islamic State playground. ISWAP run things there, even Boko-Haram insurgents loyal to the slain Shekau still control some places in Borno.

This is a fight beyond the Nigerian Goverment, the North is where it is today because of decades of neglect.

Only America can completely dislodge Islamic State.

Has Nigeria millitary with all its aerial prowess ever taken a hold of Sambisa forest. If you know the terrain of the forest, its easy to attack numerous locations from that axis and run back to hiding.

What about the Lake Chad islands.

The recent dislodgments of millitary formations in Abadam and its environs.

Lets be serious, Nigeria lost this fight, the moment Shekau pledged allegiance to Islamic State. ISWAP is a well run terrorist organisation.

We cant even deal with the remnants of Boko-Haram.

And to cap it all, we have arguably the most useless president ever, not that he can do anything though to stop this menace.

Take it or leave it, terror and Borno signed a life long patnership unless US(Trump) goes hard on IS in the Sahel and Africa in general.

I said what I said my nigga.

Unless the country has a reliable data on every citizen and a very tight border control, these terrorist attacks will continue unabated. Most importantly, if sentiments and politics doesn't becloud simple reasoning then it's just an unfortunate circle

Shettima: "Tinubu will manage the economy while I will handle security."

Failure on all fronts. Both going down; both getting worse.

Just like the monkeys discovered afterwards; it is not about forcefully taking over the car, but driving it.

I wish Plateau and Benue Christian community to be extremely vigilant this Easter

fuckingAyaya:
Will the soldiers reinforce and raze down the whole community like they do in the south Or they will let it slide ?

They will let it slide o

Minister of information says everything is under control

Well... We don't care anymore as a Nation.

Only the following matter:

1. Peter Obi will never become President.

2. Tinubu must complete his 8 years in office.

3. Sultan of Sokoto is right! Social Media is a terrorist tool.

4. Power Supply has improved massively all over Nigeria.


Thank you!

Iragbiji drug lord said Boko Haram is no longer disturbing in Borno.

The buck stops at drug barons table
