Again, Boko Haram in futile attempt in BurataiFor
about the fourth time since February 2014, Boko Haram terrorists moved
against Buratai, the home town of Chief of Army Staff, Major General
Tukur Buratai last night, which is also the location of a military camp.
In their desperate attempt to capture the town, the invaders struck at about 9.30 pm but were repelled by Nigerian soldiers.
The terrorists returned again at about 3.00 a.m and were equally pushed back.
Acting
Director Army Public Relations Colonel Sani Kukasheka Usman disclosed
in a shirt message that the “suspected terrorists made a futile attempt
to attack Buratai town in Borno State and military camp located in the
area. I am glad to inform you that the gallant soldiers rose to the
occasion and dealt. They however made concerted effort at about 3.00am
this morning which was equally repelled by the gallant soldiers. The
situation and town is cool and calm."
By
the time they struck first in February last year, Gen. Buratai was
serving as commander of the Joint Task Force in the Niger Delta
