| 2016-07-18 |
| [NTA.NG] Yesterday evening remnants of Boko Haram ... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality... forces of Evil in their numbers attacked our troops location at Rann, Kala Balge Local Government Area of Borno State. The forces of Evil came with Motorcycles Borne Improvised Explosive Devices (MCBIED), Anti-Aircraft Guns and other weapons at about 5.00pm and the exchange of fire lasted for some hours before they were overwhelmed by the troops firepower. Unfortunately, one of the terrorists’ jacket wallah let 'er rip at a gun truck killing the driver and the gunner. The truck and the mounted weapon were also damaged beyond repairs. In addition 2 soldiers were maimed in action while 3 others sustained minor injuries. The troops killed 7 of the attackers instantly while quite a number escaped with gun shot wounds. During clearance operations this morning, the troops discovered 9 more Boko Haram forces of Evil dead bodies in the surrounding areas. Therefore the total number of forces of Evil killed was 16. The troops also recovered a General Purpose Machine Gun, Rocket Propelled Grenade, ammunitions and captured 2 of the forces of Evil alive. The bodies of the 2 fallen heroes and the maimed in action soldiers have been evacuated to Maiduguri, while reinforcement was sent from Gomboru Ngala. In a related development, troops have also discovered and safely detonated 2 Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) planted along Gomboru-Rann road. It is believed that the IEDs were planted yesterday to prevent troops reinforcement to Rann while the attack lasted. |
