BIAFRA : Boko Haram/ISWAP Casualties as terrorists attack Nigerian soldiers after Chadian troops’ exit



Nigerian troops have again repelled Boko Haram attacks in a deadly clash in Monguno Local Government Area (LGA) of Borno State.
The terrorists have repeatedly attacked Monguno but failed in their attempts in the past to overrun the garrison town.
Intelligence sources informed PRNigeria on Wednesday that a patrol team of the Operation Lafiya Dole engaged Boko Haram and Islamic State in West Africa (ISWAP) terrorists after they were attacked near Monguno town on Tuesday night.
However, re-enforcement was quickly sent from troops located in other platforms to assist in repelling the attack with casualties on both sides.
“The attack was subsequently repelled. Though there were fewer casualties on the Nigerian troops through Vehicle Borne Improvised Explosive Devices, many Boko Haram Terrorists were however eliminated during the encounter,” the source said.
Military authorities are expected to provide details on the gun battle later.
Locals have been leaving the northern part of Borno part following the withdrawal of the Chadian Army along the shores of the Lake Chad.
Some residents of Monguno, Damasak, Magumeri, Gubio who already arrived in Maiduguri, the Borno capital, had predicted that the withdrawal would result in renewed attacks by the insurgents.
Last Thursday, Chad ended its mission fighting Boko Haram in the region with the withdrawal of 1,200 soldiers.
Usman Kundiri, who has been living in Monguno since the liberation of the town by Nigerian troops told DAILY POST that he never wanted to leave Monguno but ISWAP’s reported appointment of 18 new commanders as well as the withdrawal of the Chadian troops forced him to relocate.
He said: “Our people have been living in fear owing to several attacks in this part of our world. I believe over the years, even our military have been depending on the support given by the Chad Army.
“Now they are gone and there is fear that the over 1000 troops withdrawn have caused a gap in the security of the region,” Usman said.
Ibrahim Saleh, a fisherman in Baga town also told DAILY POST that the withdrawal triggered concern at communities and informed the decision by several people to look elsewhere in search of safe haven.
“We believe the Chadian soldiers had denied terrorists power to operate around Monguno as their garrison has been very effective in repelling moves by the terrorists to attack freely,” he stated.

Nnamdi Kanu Sends Important Message To IPOB Members From Detention

    The detained leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has sent an important message to his followers over the Biafra movement. The embattled separatist according to one of his brothers, Prince Kanu Meme, has asked his disciples to trust and comply with directives from the Directorate of State (DOS). Boasting his belief in the separatist movement’s administrative structure, Kanu said “I’m DOS and DOS is me”.  Naija News understands that the DOS, headed by diaspora-based Chika Edoziem has been contending with authority issues since Kanu’s arrest in Kenya in June 2021. It has been observed that IPOB is in disintegration following Nnamdi Kanu’s rearrest and detention. The present situation of the Biafran movement can be likened to that of sheep without a shepherd. However, Kanu in a conversation with his sib...

IPOB: The Nigerian Civil War, commonly known as the Biafran War

  THE HISTORY OF BIAFRA AND NIGERIA WAR  Israel, Nigeria and the Biafra civil war    The Nigerian Civil War , commonly known as the Biafran War (6 July 1967 – 15 January 1970), was a war fought between the government of Nigeria and the secessionist state of Biafra. Biafra represented nationalist aspirations of the Igbo people, whose leadership felt they could no longer coexist with the Northern-dominated federal government. The conflict resulted from political, economic, ethnic, cultural and religious tensions which preceded Britain's formal decolonization of Nigeria from 1960 to 1963. Immediate causes of the war in 1966 included a military coup, a counter-coup and persecution of Igbo living in Northern Nigeria. Control over the lucrative oil production in the Niger Delta played a vital strategic role.
