As people all over the world are busy celebrating and
thanking God for keeping them alive to see the new month, Boko Haram militants instead
chose to launch an attack on Bama, the largest city in Borno state with the aim
of taking over the town.
According to reports reaching us, the militants arrived the
town very early in the morning of today and started shooting mortars, RPGs and
hurling grenades but they were fiercely resisted by Nigerian troops stationed
in the village. Sahara Reporters reports that a fierce battle is currently going
on there between Boko Haram men and Nigerian troops.
We also gathered that the Emir of Bama and hundreds of residents have fled the city to the state capital, Maiduguri, to avoid being caught up in the crossfire. Bama is a very strategic city in Borno state with a lot of military hardware and it is believed that if Boko Haram men capture Bama, it will be very easy for them to move into the state capital, Maiduguri. Let’s all pray for our gallant Nigerian soldiers sacrificing their lives to stop these blood thirsty militants.
