Suspected Boko Haram terrorists
in the early hours of Friday reportedly attacked troops of 118 Task Battalion
at Arage village Borno State.
This is the second attack on the
formation in less than 48 hours.
According to a military source,
who pleaded anonymity, the early morning attack was suspected to a reprisal of
Wednesday’s attack where the insurgents suffered heavy human and equipment
casualties.
“Today’s attack was successfully
repelled, though seven personnel were injured,” the source disclosed.
The casualty on the side of the
insurgents could not be ascertained and there was no official statement from
the military authority as of the time of filing in this report.
Recall that the Army had on its
verified Twitter handle yesterday disclosed that, “Boko Haram met their water
loo and suffered heavy casualties on Wednesday evening Nov. 28, 2018; when they
attempted to infiltrate 118 Battalion location at Arege in Abadam Local
Government Area (LGA) of Borno state”.
