NIGERIA: Fleeing Boko Haram terrorists killed by own landmine

It was yet another bad day for Boko Haram terrorists on Thursday when a gang of them being chased by galant troops of the Nigerian Army ran into a heavy land mine and got killed by the forgotten bombs they buried long ago.
During their inglorious days of territorial conquests, Boko Haram had buried hundreds of improvised land mines along major routes and communities to prevent invasion of troops into their new domain.

Army officials said, the unfortunate fate that befell the insurgents in Kumala area of Damboa Local Government of Borno state was a clear signal that Boko Haram is now in disarray as the Nigerian soldiers are only battling a residue of their long decimated force.

Lacking the past belligerency with which they carried out attacks in a kind of commando style, Boko Haram now resort to weak ambush tactics that are mostly foiled by combat ready troops of the Nigeria military.

Thursday’s feat in Kumala , according to the spokesman of the Nigerian Army, Colonel Sani Kukasheka Usman, had further revved up the zeal of the soldiers who have now been more convinced that the battle is being won.

Colonel Usman made this known in a statement he issued on Thursday night.
