The Nigerian Army and Boko Haram, were on Wednesday night, engaged in a fierce battle, at Mainok, a village in Borno State, leaving many casualties on both sides.
The Spokesman of the Theatre Command and Control Centre, Onyema Nwachukwu, said the situation has been put under control, after troops gallantly repelled the attackers.
Nwachukwu, a Colonel said: “Our troops had a fierce encounter with elements of the Boko Haram terrorists, yesterday night, at Mainok, in Mobar LGA”, his text message read.
“There was a casualty on both sides, and troops have been reinforced, and we are in control of the area”, he added.
Meanwhile, it was gathered from relatives of some of the villagers in Mainok, that the insurgents came to attack the Military base in Mainok.
According to the source, the attackers reportedly told the villagers not to panic, as they (villagers) were not their target but the Military.
“I just called someone in Mainok ,and he said the attack was on the Army base. They came from the direction of Maiduguri and passed through the town, telling people not to panic or run away, because they are not out to attack them but the Army base. But for the obvious fear of unknown, the civilians fled to bushes. May Allah protect them”, the source who wished not to be named said.
