Militants from the Islamic State-backed faction of Boko Haram, the Islamic State West Africa Province , formerly known as Jamā'at Ahl as-Sunnah lid-Da'wah wa'l-Jihād, have taken over a military base in Damasak town, Mobbar Local Government Area of Borno State.
Sources told SaharaReporters that the insurgents stormed the community, shooting in all directions before ramming a pick-up truck loaded with explosives into the military base.He added that some Nigerian soldiers were killed while others fled into the bush. “They came, hundreds of them, with guns, trucks, and grenades and started firing from different directions. The soldiers ran away and left us on our own. They didn’t shoot at them at all. Though some soldiers were killed I can’t say how many,” he told SaharaReporters.
It was learnt that the insurgents also burnt a Nigerian army tanker and some buildings in the military base. The attack on the base took place just days after Boko Haram fighters ambushed a military convoy in Gudumbali, Kukawa Local Government Area of Borno state, killing over 15 soldiers, including the commanding officer, 123 Special Forces Battalion, Major U.I. Urang.
Don't you think saharareporters are also terrorist?
They always run but once it involves unarmed protesters, they display their gallantry to the fullest and won't remember their lack of ammunition, non payment of their salaries. Ndi ara
please also report it same way when the army are dealing with these guys. I see more of this kind of news on your feed than when it’s the army dealing with them. Abeg share the goodnews too coz they also happen. Thank you.
.💥..its time to follow a Friend.... Just follow Ceasaro7 and I will follow back ASAP.......💞 BiafraExit EndNigeriaNow
The military should is invest in Locally made Helicopters gunships... No body wins this kind of war with jus ground troops alone air power is needed

endsars imagine what's happening in this country... Bokoharam can't try this here in West Sha... They don't pass their boundaries
Enjoy the aftermath....
Dear here is the SITREP of Damasak you claimed was captured by the ISWAP yet the military roasted the ISWAP alive. And also a point reminder that's not the military base nor the Delta Company at Damasak
Our military need better resources to confront and crush these criminals. What's happening is just sacrificing their lives for no just call. Very unfortunate
Kudos to BH for this kill all the zoo soilder that kill unarm people in the south
Military base my foot, is this where Biden and his team is investing the money they allocate to Nigeria to help fight terrorism?.
These bokoharams guys are waxing stronger everyday. ............are we sure these guys are not ISIS? If Nigerian soldiers flee for bokoharam, what will be the fate of bloody civilians
Ko baje fun yin awon
Whattttttttttttttttttttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BabaTunCome1 Where is your Commander in thief?

The way it is going, Boko Haram terrorists will one day TAKE OVER ASO VILLA.
Any southerner still in this Fulanised Nigerian military should just know he is a sacrificial lamb in the hand of Fulani govt. Nigeria is gone make no mistake about this. Resign now you have time before is too late. This govt is aiding and abetting terrorists
Is Nigeria the only country in Africa that they cannot allow their neighbors to sleep ?
They're the real owner of the military base 😎😎😎😎😎
What a disgrace
Don't distract us please
Boko Haram is technically defeated.
May God save our nation
Where was Nigerian air force? Oh yes! I forgot they are in Orlu, in Imo state. Bombing innocent civilians and flexing muscles
Military men Don jakpa o!
This is purely government funded terrorism
I pity them , money meant for weapons have not been put to Good use , corrupt country like ours
Zoo !!!
how do sahara get all these pictures?
We read such news and move on as if it doesn't affect us. Let it be said, the state is under direct attack!
For those of us from this side that this is yet to be affected I think we still have a chance to put things in order before it is too late, it all started like this in Afghanistan, Iraq etc, like play like play one day you go hear say terrorist don take over our power.
it is call tactical withdrawal form the Nigerian soldiers 🚶🚶🚶🚶
Now just look at this picture, Look at the Number of engagements of the tweets, Good news obviously make some people sad But You see fake and Bad news about Nigeria... its like Gas Explosion God Pls Redirect our noble cause in Nigeria 🙏
Military base? Hmmm
No they will not flee,as if they dont have wifves and children in the university
Again? I comment my reserves....
Toothless bulldogs. When they are in orlu against civilians they begin to show power, oya go and fight.
Terrorist attacks Terrorist
Someone informs them when the army is less vigilant... Then they strike That's what I believe. There are moles.
This is a military base 😳😳 Nigeria is finished 🤣🤣🤣
Thunder please keep on firing them
Its over for the Zoo. The Northerners should obtain Somalian Visa before its two late. Fear the words from the mouth of MNK MaziNnamdiKanu, they are backed by hosts of heaven. He's the true Messenger of Elohim sent to liberate the black Jews(Igbo-Biafrans)
next time make una write : Nigerian Soldiers RETREAT after a sudden attack on there camp . My Bois are coming back . Nah new commander dey I'm charge and I pray for change ...
Wait this is a military base. No! ...i don't think they ran because of Boko Haram..ah ah
Moguno has told us the truth of the matter. Let Buhari and his lying men continue to lie to us.
iamOvox So you expect 2 soldiers to face many zombies(Terrorists). What they did is retreat and it was taught in military trainings. Retreating doesn't mean they lost, if they got killed you will write another headline to suit your narratives. This is a total mess of journalism.
Who snap this pictures?
Why federal government didn't employ Boko Haram as our new security since our military can't protect themselves
The monster they fed is now eating them up
Bokoharams Bandits are Northern Nigeria freedom fighters according to Adamu Garba
As usual ..BH mouthpiece
They should bomb Abuja too
Buratai_COAS have swallow the defence fund, Me Nigeria 🇳🇬 government would have use the fund to pay social money 💰 like other countries at list each of their citizens would have collected approximately 2m 🇳🇬 but 1 or 2 persons decided to pocket and notting happened grinded.
I understand the game. There is new arrival of animation in the barrack so top officer's leak it to Boko Haram people. That's how they came to the barrack and take over the weapon. That's how they did at mubi adamawa state.
Na waa ooh
That's a camp with few soldiers.... Not up to 20. U always get news, pictures and videos from boko haram. But my question is what do u give them in return?
I pity anyone who wants or has joined the NA already.
Take a look at what they call military base Even if it's temporary, it doesn't have to look like a beggers home. EndBadGoveranceInNigeria
It is finished finally. God bless the south. Call my attention when boko haram takes over Military headquarters in Abuja. Security team from boko haram are already warming up to take over the headquarters. End1999constitution restructuring One Nigeria my left yansh.
This are the animals government still pardons.
All they do is run from battle but they're ever ready to flog and waylay innocent civilians.
Aaron19036 There comes a time when the politicians will fail the masses & the people shall arise to appoint a leader within them. The time is now, for we the people to elect a leader within us, if you are competent enough to lead Nigeria and impact the society. Join AGreatNigeria3 Now.
😂😂😂😂😂
Sadiqb_jnr pls is this true
Mark this tweet down before 2023 , buhari and the northern cabals will want to use insurgent issues they instigated , funded secretly to perpetuate themselves for a third term in office in 2023. The plan has already started , the southern and middlebelt region should take note.
So this is the so called military base? Hhhmmmm
I no just understand why our military are running from Boko Haram despite all their training.
If they can over run military bases what is the hope of ordinary citizen, it's well
See their base even American soldiers in Afghanistan weren't given this kind of base
Haa, but Lai muhammad has technically defeated Boko Haram now
Before ko make dem flee abeg na lives is very important u live to fight another day
I felt for our soldiers cus they have children and wife,against boko haram which always prepared to die.
Kindly tweet back when military regain the community. Always be positive about your country. There is no perfect country.
I don't blame them. They are wise men.
I don’t think these BH fighters are Northerners alone they have stretched network into international organizations that helps them to coordinate this sort of attacks
Flee 🙄
Borno Military base like Aboki kiosk' are you kidding me?
They are the same people. It has been their Dreams, soon they will get to Aso Rock.
Tanfeeku
Would someone please help explain why only and always report the failure of the troops , but keep mum whenever they record a massive victory ?
Tomorrow now Nigerian soldiers will lie they are defeating bokoharam
HQNigerianArmy are cowards
ProfOsinbajo What about hiring mercenaries? Is Federal Government putting that into consideration at all? This is a terrible situation that involves innocent lives. It is better to spend money and resources than have more lives killed. May God help Nigeria and the Nigeria Army.
This is a military base?
Na who snap this pictures👀👀
DefenceInfoNG HQNigerianArmy were tweeting that none of such happened!
Na wao. This country has gone to hell o
Nollywood 😂 😂 😂
In the very eye of the northern Elders, with due respect, your land is no longer peaceful.. killing everyday.. all sort of evil happening there right now.. if you elite dont do the needful..at your own very eye.. the land will be desolate.
Is just a clash

To be fair to our soldiers they are trying, imagine leaving ur family to stay in dis type of shack houses (we call base), being ill equipped, not fed or paid like ur counterparts in d world all in d name of serving a country with nepotistic leadership😔😔😔
Soldiers too get wife and family that need him to be alive for.
🤣🤣🤣
