Boko Haram insurgents on Thursday attacked the Army Special Super Camp at Ngamdu, a border town between Borno and Yobe states where the Chief of Army Staff, Gen. Tukur Yusuf Buratai, has relocated, to launch a final onslaught on the terrorists.
The attack occurred barely 72 hours after Gen. Buratai sent a message to defeat the insurgents within a very short time.
The Chief of Army Staff at the 2020 Special Easter Celebration with the troops at the camp, promised to stay with them until the insurgents are substantially degraded.
But the terrorists on Thursday tested their confidence by attacking the camp, as Gen. Buratai and his officers were mapping out strategies to execute his final blow on the insurgents.
Some sources at the camp said that the insurgents came in motor gun trucks from the southwestern side of the camp and opened fire.
Other were of the opinion that mortar guns were launched at the camp, but no fatality was recorded although some of the troops were said to have sustained minor injuries.
It was rumoured that Buratai ordered the troops to chase the insurgents away and warned them to focus on a bigger target.
