Suspected members of the Boko Haram sect have invaded a military base/camp of ‘Operation Lafiya Dole’ in Kamuya village of Buratai ward of Biu Local Government Area of Borno State, where they allegedly sacked the soldiers at their duty post, before carting away arms and ammunition.
Unconfirmed reports from some sources in the village revealed that five soldiers were feared dead while seven others were injured. Also, three civilians were missing after the attack.
Kamuya is located about six kilometres to Buratai, the ancestral home of the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. General Tukur Buratai. The attack came as the Police in Zamfara State confirmed the death of one person in Magazu Village of Tsafe Local Government Area of the state following a fresh attack by bandits.
The incident, according to sources, took place on Wednesday, but due to lack of telecommunication network in the area, as it was hitherto vandalised by the sect, the information had to be delayed before reaching the press.
