reports.
According to one of the soldiers who escaped
and spoke on anonymity to journalists, he said the sect men came
in 30 vehicles mounted with anti-aircraft guns, caught them unawares and subdued them...
"We were totally subdued by the insurgents. Some of my
colleagues were abducted and many others escaped with bullet wounds.
Dozens of Boko Haram insurgents stormed our checkpoint at Bulabulin on Tuesday
night.
The terrorists came in a convoy of over 30 vehicles, mounted
with Anti Aircraft guns (AA). I was at the checkpoint when the
terrorists came, we tried our best but they had advantage over us.
They
had AA and we had Ak47 rifles that are not fully loaded. When we
realized that they had taken over the place, some of us escaped to
Maiduguri and other places but many could not make it.
As I am talking
to you, 16 bodies of our colleagues have been brought to Maiduguri, this
is apart from those that sustained injuries and many others that are
missing.” he said
