Boko Haram kills Nigerian Army commander, dozens of soldiers

 Rampaging Boko Haram insurgents overran a Nigerian Army battalion in Borno State on Sunday, killing the unit’s commander and dozens of soldiers

A large cache of arms, ammunition and military equipment were carted away by the Boko Haram fighters during the attack on 157 Task Force Battalion in Metele, Abadam Local Government Area, at about 6:00 p.m., a setback for government forces trying to push terrorists further out of Nigeria’s northeastern flank.
There were fears for the fate of the troops from the base, which was raided only a month ago, as military sources said the Nigerian Army was making frantic efforts to contain the traumatic effect of the attack on the larger counterinsurgency operation. Bodies of fallen troops were still being recovered and evacuated from the scene as of yesterday morning, according to Premium Times. But dozens of soldiers from the battalion have already been confirmed killed, including their commander.
