Gunmen suspected to be members of Boko Haram have invaded a military camp of ‘Operation Lafiya Dole’ in Kamuya village of Buratai ward of Biu Local Government area of Borno state, where they reportedly sacked the soldiers at their duty post.
The terreorist then carted away arms and ammunitions even as the sources revealed that three soldiers were feared killed.
Kamuya is located about 6 kilometres to Buratai, the ancestral village of the Chief of Army Staff, Lt Gen Tukur Buratai.
The incident according to the source took place on Wednesday, but due to lack of GSM network in the area, due to vandalization by the sect, the information was delayed before reaching the media.
