Suspected Boko Haram terrorists have attacked a base of the Nigerian Army in Marte Local Government Area of Borno State, killing an unspecified number of soldiers.

Local and security sources confirmed the attack, saying the incident happened at Forward Operation Base of the 153 Task Force Battalion, around 3:00am on Monday.

One of the sources who did not want his name mentioned said the troops were dislodged and many soldiers captured during the attack.


“ISWAP has taken over Marte, an unspecified number of soldiers were killed, some captured and many have deserted. They ran towards Dikwa, and are currently at the 24 Task force Brigade, Dikwa.

“The terrorists also burnt down armoured tanks and made away with arms and ammunition from the base”, said the source.

Marte is 38 kilometers from Dikwa, the headquarters of Dikwa local government area of Borno State.

A source in Dikwa told our correspondent that gunshots were heard, and a fighter jet of the Nigeria Air Force was seen hovering the area.

Na wa oo

Soldier just dey die like chicken. Where is the respect for our gallant men?

See what Nigeria has reduced to. All because of Nepotism. They are our brothers

Let’s forgive them. Mtchew

The armies look to be trying. Their job comes with a lot of ardour. Only honourable men, with paramount mind, wear their valour and strength. May God help them do much more. The good among them shall always encounter God's favour.
May health and zest follow them and theirs always.
Ameeeeeeeeen.

Kundus to the NA in totality.

ChybuzzDD:
That's for you, not for some of us from the southeast. The army is heavily biased against our people, and we see no difference between them and Boko haram . As such, we don't care if they succeed or perish.

Agbadorians said that VP Shettimna would tackle insecurity if elected, but he cannot even stop the killings in his home state. This is not what these folks promised Nigerians.

🌺

Still they won't declare state of emergency in that place

... those who started the war for political gains & those making money from it, know how to end it !

I pity the poorly paid/kitted soldiers wasting their lives while the beneficiaries smile to the bank !

They go to the bush so that we sleep cool... not easy. God keep them safe

I pray for their success in their travails.

It is just too easy to identify a nimtwit
Mu**gu spamming the thread with shit...
Where's your cons*cience?

For rallying behind our gallant heroes? If they were no army, would this country be habitable at all?

Everyone campaigns against the Police, can we handle a 1-week strike from them? The last time we had endsars protest, you want to know the dam*ages caused by vag*a*bonds in my area to business owners, private companies, in Lagos o?
Is that what we want?

Let's always employ our cerebral hemispheres before churning out twadddles... emotions and half judgemental don't always cut it.

If licences to gun is allowed, defending ourselves against illegal moves will be no issue at all!

Look at America, do you think its the security forces that does alot of the safeguarding and the rest? Citizens hands too in surveillance!

It's not that easy. Even US finds it uneasy to handle its debilitating gun impact. There are many countries not toiling that path of the US, yet growing safe. We absolutely can't handle your proposition for safety, sire.

That said, citizens need to hands to bolster safety here however. On the citizen's path—see something, say something, immediately.
See police or any law enforcement officer's misconduct? Flip your phones to record covertly or openly—just get evidence. Things will improve.

This is serious, thought we are over this boko haram thing, some new forces are behind this, with all this new jets, new chopper, yet bh keeps numbers keep soaring.....

A success for the army is a peace for us Nigerians. Let's know that.

The boys Scout Chief of Army Staff is busy eating cassava, agbado and ewa 🤷. Speaking animal talk and regurgitating gazelle gra gra balablu bhlu blhu bulaba

Just six days after relocating to Maiduguri 💩🤷

Propaganda won't save, Nigerians, Tinubu dey craze. FreeStuffsNG, yarimo, WriterNG, helinues, God1000, madridguy, CoronaVirus, WriterNiG.

INSECURITY IS A BUSINESS ..


FROM OUR NIGER DELTA EXPERIENCES…WHERE THE MOMENT THE GOVERNMENT TALKS ABOUT WITHDRAWING THE TROOPS DUE TO THE OBSERVANCE OF RELATIVE PEACE, THERE WOULD IMMEDIATELY BE THE BLOWING UP OF PIPELINES OR ATTACK ON SOME SOLDIERS. THEN THE ARMY’S PRESENCE IS EXTENDED.

TELL THESE DEFENSE RANK AND FILE THAT IF THEY DO NOT ERADICATE BOKO HARAM THEY WILL BE SACKED, COURT MARTIALED AND DEATH SENTENCE ED ON THEM. TELL THEM THEY SHALL ALSO FORFEIT ALL THEIR PROPERTIES AND HOTELS AND MALLS AND SUPERMARKETS THEY HAVE BUILT WITH PROCEEDS FROM DEFENSE CONTRACTS…

THERE IS LIP SERVICE AND I BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A FORM OF MUTUALISM OR PARASITISM (TAKE YOUR PICK) IN THIS ARRANGEMENT BETWEEN TERRORISTS AND THE NIGERIAN DEFENSE STRUCTURE AND ARCHITECTURE.

FROM THE DAYS OF OLD TILL DATE

The boys Scout Chief of Army Staff is there in Borno eating cassava, agbado and ewa,🤐🤧

No sensational headlines. No blaring it into our consciousness. The propaganda machinery is in power. They won't sensationalise any event that would make their darling president look bad. the days of President Jonathan? There is God. There is God o.

Too bad

Disheartening.

Fake News. Stop reporting unverified news

Let's assume this happened in the South East.

If this can happen in the state of vice president. Wait which Boko Haram, the one technically defeated abi which one....

Are these not the so called dessimated terrorists..Hypocrisy will kill these Politicians who don't want Nigerians to expose them...It has now become norms for these animals to boldly invade Military bases...
Nigeria is a mistake n sham...

38km away and no back up or or reinforced team to them.
The attack is always in the morning, are our soldiers over-sleeping and I think there is mole among. May the betrayed dead soldiers rest in peace.

Corruption.
If war no dey, how Generals go take chop.

Ok

Any government negotiating with terrorist group is a irresponsible one.

Oh my!
This insurgency has festered for too long.
If it had been decisively curtailed when it started,we wouldn't be in this mess.

These satanic people have gotten weapons,money and moles even among the military and civilians.

A 2018 forcefully retired Major General on Arise tv recently corroborated the fears of some of us Southerners that the core Northerners love violence and the shedding of blood,which they erroneously think will make them hold on to Nigeria but it is what will eventually dismember Nigeria soonest.

"Tinubu has balls only to remove imaginary subsidy"(according to his senseless ers), but not to tackle insecurity or fix the dying economy.

Also his hate filled bitter souls ers will never call for the leveling of the village where this daily incident happened.


What exactly did that fraud do for them in Lagos for 8yrs

You think the war was started for political gains?

APC minions should be the one leading the front lines if they are serious of defending Tinubu government to any level. Their attacks and defense should not only be situated for one man army called PETER OBI. Lol P.O too much sha such that at mention of his name helinues and his useless gangs would showcase their might lol. If you doubt me, go through this comment and let me know if you will see their comment.
