Ibekimi Oriamaja Reports
Insurgents of the Boko Haram terrorist group on Tuesday ambushed troops of Operation Hadin Kai in Firgi in Bama, Borno State and killed two soldiers.
Details of the incident still remain sketchy, but Tracknews learned that the terrorists were heavily armed.
The phrase that Boko Haram had been “technically defeated” is ringing increasingly hollow.
Seven months into his first term in 2015 President Muhammadu Buhari coined the term, but the group and its offshoots have never gone away.
The military has managed to retake territory and dislodged the terrorists from some of their hideouts. But a recent spike in deadly violence, focused in the north-east, where the Islamist group began its insurgency in 2009, has led many to ask what is at the root of the authorities’ failure.
Already in the year 2022, there have been numerous attacks. A number of military bases as well as towns, including Geidam and Damasak, a hub for aid workers, have been overrun.
Hundreds have been killed and weapons, food and medicines have all been looted.
