✨ Boko Haram’s Grim Reminder: 20 Soldiers Killed as Militants Overrun Military Camp in Borno ✨ In a devastating assault, Boko Haram fighters attacked a Nigerian military camp in Kareto, Borno State, leaving about 20 soldiers dead and causing extensive damage. The militants, reportedly from the Islamic State faction of Boko Haram, used a combination of weaponry and a suicide car bomb to breach the camp’s defences on Saturday. According to military sources, the insurgents destroyed 14 vehicles, looted heavy machine guns, and seized four military vehicles before retreating. The attack marked another grim chapter in Borno’s decade-long battle against insurgency. Recommendations for Tactical Improvement: 1. Review Super Camp Strategy: The concentration of troops in “super camps” has left vast areas vulnerable. The military should reassess this approach to ensure adequate coverage and protection for remote communities. 2. Deploy Armed Drones: Using missile-equipped drones would enable real-time surveillance and precision strikes, disrupting insurgent operations and preventing surprise attacks. 3. Offensive Engagement: The military must adopt a proactive strategy, taking the battle to Boko Haram’s hideouts instead of waiting for attacks. Intensifying air and ground offensives in known insurgent strongholds could degrade their capabilities. Leadership Responses: Governor Babagana Zulum condemned the attack, describing it as a painful reminder of Boko Haram’s persistent threat. In a statement, he expressed solidarity with the armed forces and affected families, reaffirming the government’s commitment to security and resettlement efforts in northern Borno. Similarly, TRAZ Intelligence and Security Solutions Limited extended condolences to the military and reiterated the importance of employing advanced tactics and technology in counterinsurgency efforts.

I thought #Nigeria government said #BokokoHaram is so insignificant that they are no longer news worthy- Nigeria needs help!
