GUNMEN ATTACK MILITARY BASE AT KWAMDI VILLAGE IN BORNO STATE

Gunmen who are suspected to be members of the Islamic State of West Africa Province (ISWAP) stormed the Military base at Kwamdi village, Damboa local government area of Borno State and carted away many weapons including live cartridges on Tuesday.


Intelligence discovered that the insurgents who stormed the base in Sports Utility Vehicles (SUV) had first of all engaged operatives of the Nigeria Army in a fierce gun battle before looting some weapons.


However, it was confirmed that no Soldiers died in the deadly attack.

The gunmen also burnt down an amour personnel carrier and a gun truck belonging to the Army during the deadly attack.

 

A member of the Civilian Joint Task Force (JTF), Hamidu Abu, said that the terrorists came for the Soldiers’ camp and not for residents of the area.


He said, “They came at about 4 p.m. and due to the sand storms it was difficult for Soldiers to repel them. They burnt down the base including APC and 4 other vehicles. I can’t ascertain if there was any causality figure.”

 

“We didn’t lose any of our personnel to the attackers, unfortunately the base suffered some damages,” he said.
