The massive raid of suspected Boko Haram insurgents started in the city of Maiduguri around 7.20 am on March 14, 2014, Friday. The military men defended courageously and have reportedly repelled the assault. However, the question remains: WHAT was the point of such a reckless attack.
According to a statement by the Defence Headquarters (DHQ), terrorists moved in trying to “boost their depleted stock of fighters”. In other words, they intended to free their colleagues, including a notorious “human butcher”who are being held in detention.
It is believed that Friday’s terrorists’ attempt was in response to the intensity of attacks on their strongholds in camps at Talala, Monguzum, Sambisa forest, Gwoza, Mandara mountains, as well as the general area of Lake Chad. The camps have been destroyed and many insurgents killed.
The DHQ further states the attackers suffered a defeat in Maiduguri today. Those extremists who came for a rescue mission were either killed or wounded, and, therefore, captured. Many of terrorists’ weapons were recovered as well. The exact numbers were not announced at the time of filing the present report.
Four soldiers were wounded and are being treated.
The armed forces and security agencies are currently in hot pursuit of fleeing terrorists by land and air operations. Missions are ongoing along with cordon and search of surrounding localities. A “dusk to dawn curfew” has also been imposed in Borno.
As concerned killed Boko Haram fighters, then their bodies were on full display in the streets. As you may notice, the residents kept beating the corpses, despite the men have been already dead. See the photos below:
