Fleeing residents and security sources have said there was another
attack after the weekend bloodbath by the same islamic jihadist where
around 30 villagers were killed. The numbers of casualties are still
sketchy. Soldiers are among the people feared killed by the group.
The members of the deadly Boko Haram sect have killed a
Lieutenant-Colonel and other officers during a battle with the Nigerian
army.
They attacked a military convoy at a town along Bama/Konduga axis.
Sources in the area say the soldiers were traveling in a convoy of 3
Hilux cars when the insurgents appeared unexpectedly and opened fire on
them.
While some Boko Haram fighters were killed, a number of the troops
received serious wounds as the militants were believed to have
outnumbered them.
The dead Lt. Col., who was one of those with serious wounds, gave up the
ghost after battling for his life. Several other lucky soldiers are
currently receiving medical treatment.
