Suspected Boko Haram terrorists launched an attack on a Nigerian Army base in Marte Local Government Area of Borno State, resulting in casualties and the capture of some soldiers.
Local and security sources confirmed that the incident occurred around 3 a.m. on Monday, at the Forward Operation Base of the 153 Task Force Battalion.
A source, who chose to remain anonymous, disclosed that the troops were overpowered during the attack, leading to the loss of lives and the capture of some soldiers.
“ISWAP has taken over Marte. An unspecified number of soldiers were killed, some captured, and many others fled towards Dikwa.
“They are currently at the 24 Task Force Brigade in Dikwa,” the source said.
The insurgents also burned down armored tanks and seized arms and ammunition from the base during the raid.
Marte is located 38 kilometers from Dikwa, which serves as the headquarters of the Dikwa LGA in Borno State.
A resident in Dikwa reported hearing heavy gunfire during the attack. A fighter jet from the Nigerian Air Force was seen hovering over the area but was unable to repel the terrorists.
The attack is part of a series of recent offensives by terrorists in the region. In the past month, military formations in Sabon Gari, Izge, Wulgo, Buni Yadi, and other locations in Borno and Yobe States have also been targeted, leading to dislodgement without effective resistance.
