set military base ablaze, kill one mopol
Barely one week after some Internally Displaced People from Bama staged a protest to return to their town but were prevented by security agents, Boko Haram insurgents Saturday lunched a fresh attack on ancient city.
An impeccable security source told our correspondent that the insurgents came in the evening of Friday and lunched a dastardly attack on a Military/Nigeria Police Force joint guard location in the town.
The source disclosed that a police sergeant was killed as the base was set ablaze by the daring insurgents. The source also added that the insurgents took away an AK47 rifle.
Details of the casualty from the military source is yet to be ascertained.
The Nation recalls that Bama is one of the town that was worse hit by the Boko Haram insurgents. It was also one of the towns in Borno State that was completely taken over by the insurgents by it was liberated in 2015.
