The Brigade Commander of the Joint Task Force in Benesheikh, Kaga Local Government Area of Borno State, Brigadier-General O. Braimah, has reportedly been killed in a Boko Haram attack on Thursday.
According to sources, many insurgents were also killed.
A social media post by one, Mallam Lawa Benesheikh said, “Innalillahi wa Inna’illaihin raji’un.
“Boko Haram has again, unfortunately, succeeded in eliminating the commanding officer of Benishiehk.
“This unfortunate incident occurred yesterday night when the insurgent stormed the military formation in numbers.
“May the souls of the fallen heroes rest in peace.” He said.
Meanwhile, the chairman of the Kaga local government area, Hon. Zanna Ajimi, confirmed the killing of the brigade commander.
He said, “Yes, we just left the military base now, and I can confirm to you that the brigade commander is among the casualties,” Hon. Ajimi stated.
In another development, the Nigerian Army has said that the claim by a dismissed soldier – ex-Lance Corporal Rotimi Olamilekan, that soldiers buy uniforms and protective equipment, including bulletproof vests and helmets, is entirely false.
Reacting to the claim, which has gone viral on social media and mainstream news platforms, the Army said it prioritised the welfare, safety, and force protection of its personnel.
In a statement issued on Tuesday by the Acting Director of Army Public Relations, Col. Appolonia Anele, the Army maintained that the provision of uniforms, kits, arms, ammunition, and operational gear is an institutional responsibility executed through established logistics systems. READ MORE
