Boko Haram terrorists have killed an army captain in Izge community of Gwoza Local Government Area of Borno State.

The terrorists who struck in the early hours of Wednesday also killed a soldier.

Confirming the incident, the Emir of Gwoza, HRH Alhaji Mohammed Shehu Timta, said the assailants stormed the area around 1am and engaged the troops.

It’s true that my people in Izge community came under Boko Haram attack around 1am. Unfortunately, a Captain and a Soldier paid the supreme price.

“But our gallant troops, the Civilian JTF, hunters, vigilantes and the resilient community also killed three terrorists. The terrorists abandoned their weapons, over 10 motorcycles and they are still on the run, while being trailed by our security men,” he said.

He prayed for the souls of those that lost their lives and commended the gallant soldiers for coordinating other security operatives to repel the attack.

“May Allah (SWT) grant the departed souls Jannatul firdaus. Our gallant men are still in the bush, sacrificing their lives to maintain peace in the society, ” he said.

He also thanked the Borno State governor, Prof Babagana Umara Zulum, for the logistics to the security operatives, while calling on the federal government to equip security operatives with technological warfare.

North East has come under a series of attacks under Boko Haram’s renewed onslaught.

On Saturday, Boko Haram terrorists attacked the 27 Task Force Brigade, Buni Yadi, Gujba LGA of Yobe State, killing at least four soldiers and destroying many operational equipment.

The attack happened less than 24 hours after the North East Governors Forum met in the state capital, Damaturu, and adopted a multidimensional approach to tackle insurgency in the region.

Buni Yadi is located about 65km from Yobe State capital and is the country home of the state governor, Mai Mala Buni.

The latest attack comes two weeks after President Bola Tinubu charged service chiefs to end killings.

Insecurity is sweeping Nigeria right now.
The National Assembly have called for a National Security Summit.
I hope they resolve in that summit how to end the insecurity.
The rate at which Boko Haram reenforced and have started retaking more communities and killing our men in Borno state is alarming.
I will follow up with the National Security Summit and see what comes out of it.
Rest in Peace to the Officer's and Civilians.

This is not a political crisis, (Maybe, a way of life and living) course there is no need for a state of emergency.

This boko haram is kind of renewing their name and existence resently.

I thought that boko haram was replaced by bandits and unknown gun men during the last istration, why are they (boko haram) emergency back again with full momentum this time around, almost every week, we now hear news of boko haram doing one havoc or the other.

This is very strange to me. I still believe that any government that is really ready to take out these monsters will do so no matter what it will take.

Until then, let them continue with their politics.

Now that Zulum has banned sale of alcohol. Hopefully, boko haram activities will reduce drastically soon.

Apc's middle name is failure. Tinubu will handle economy yet inflation keeps hitting us hard.

Shettima (boko haram founder) will handle security yet, the insecurity rages on and unabated. He's not been able to tame the monster he created.

Let's see if these lies will work in 2027 or they would use another strategy to deceive the masses

Let's place a ban on alcohol. Alcohol is the problem.
