Borno Att@ck: Boko Haram K+lls Major, 3 Soldiers, Hunter, D+stroys Military Vehicles
Boko Haram insurgents k+lled Forward Operations Base commander Major IU Mairiga, three soldiers, and a hunter during a night att@ck on Mayanti in Bama LGA, Borno State.
Security sources said Major Mairiga fought bravely, neutralising several insurgents before being overpowered after some soldiers fled. Troops later recovered RPGs, anti-aircraft w£apons, PKT machine g¥ns, and insurgent c%rpses at the scene.
Three civilians doing reconstruction work were w%unded, and military vehicles and equipment were set abl@ze. Major Mairiga had been deployed to the base less than four months ago after a special promotion.
The Joint Task Force (North East) Operation HADIN KAI (OPHK) confirmed repelling coordinated att@cks on Mayanti, Gajigana, and Gajiram between February 28 and March 1, k+lling scores of insurgents and seizing heavy w£apons.
