A reliable security source has revealed that
Boko Haram has now hoisted its flag in three villages in Borno State after
over-running them. The villages are: Kubirivour, Boftari and Kuburmbalah.
The hoisting of the flags comes after the
previous day’s attack which led to the death of eight people including a
village elder, who was slaughtered by the terrorists.
The militants are also still in control of
Malam Fatori town, on the Nigeria-Niger border.
Meanwhile, the deadly Boko Haram sect in two
different attacks killed at least eight Nigerian soldiers in Borno state.
According to an army statement the militant sect attacked a convoy late on
September 25, near Bama, 70 km southeast of Maiduguri, the state’s capital
causing the deaths of an army officer, three soldiers, and three attackers. The
gunmen had also earlier attacked a military post at Logomani, 110 km northeast
of Maiduguri city, killing four soldiers, the statement added.
The Nigerian
military also said that at least 22 insurgents died in the firefight.
