Boko Haram & Nigerian Soldiers in Severe Battle in Bama, Borno

Going by the information gathered, there is fierce fighting going on between troops of the Nigerian army and suspected Boko Haram insurgents in Bama town, Borno State.

According to reports, fleeing residents said that hundreds of insurgents, armed with rocket propelled grenades (RPGs), explosives and guns stormed Bama at dawn and are still fighting with Nigerian troops.

 

"As I am talking to you , the war is ongoing and it will be difficult to describe the level of destruction," Tijjani Bukar, a driver that escaped to Maiduguri, said.

Bama was attacked in May 2013 and February, 2014. The Army barracks and the emir’s palace were all attacked by the insurgents in the previous invasion. Bama is nearly 60 kilometres away from Maiduguri. Three days ago, they captured Dikwa, 60 kilometers north of Bama.
