Islamic militants, Boko Haram,
early in the week, ambushed military vehicle along Biu and Damboa town on
Monday, killed two soldiers and injured four others.
A military source said on Tuesday
that the soldiers were travelling between Biu and Damboa when they came under
heavy gun fire from the terrorists group.
“Boko Haram attacked our soldiers
on Monday. They fell into an ambush while on their way to Damboa from Biu. They
fought the terrorists but we lost two men in the fight.” He said.
According to him, a military
vehicle was also seized in the attack.
Despite repeated claims from the
authorities that they have “technically defeated the terrorists group or
degraded the militants”, Boko Haram has continued to attack towns and villages
across the northeast region.
With the latest attack on Dapchi
town in Yobe state, it appears that, when ever Boko Haram releases few of its
victims, it takes more and continues to bargain with government.
Also attacks and suicide bombings
persist with unhindered successes in some hard to reach rural areas and
outlying towns in Borno state particularly.
Borno state has been at the heart
of the Boko Haram insurgency, which has claimed over 20,000 people and
displaced 2 .6 million more since it began its campaign of introducing total
Shari’a in the country in 2009.
