\n
Eight soldiers are reportedly feared killed after Boko Haram terrorists launched attack on a military base in Sasawa, a community close to Damaturu, the Yobe State capital.<\/div>\n

\n

\n

The spokesman of 3 Div. Nigerian Army, Col. Kayode Ogunsanya confirmed the attack but could not give details of the casualty figure.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
He, however, stated that \u201cthere was casualty on both side of the army and the insurgents\u201d.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

But a soldier who survived the attack told DAILY POST that eight soldiers, including an officer and a civilian were killed in the attack.<\/p>\n

He also added that many soldiers took to their heels after sighting the insurgents driving into the community with about seven gun trucks and others riding on motorcycles.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can authoritatively confirm to you that there was an attack at dawn yesterday at Sasawa and eight soldiers, including an officer as well as a civilian were killed during the raid.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cThe insurgents overran the military base having come with seven gun trucks.<\/div>\n

\u201cMany of our colleagues ran for their lives because the fire power of the insurgents was much and our guys had to take cover,\u201d the source said.<\/p>\n

Sasawa is one of the communities that was under the control of the insurgents before being liberated by security forces, with an established military base.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
