Vanguard has reported that Boko Haram terrorists have captured the town of Monguno, including a military base, after the battle in Maiduguri and Monguno today.
A senior military officer (anonymous) is quoted as saying: “Monguno has fallen, Monguno has fallen!”
“We fought them all night long but they took over the town, including the military barracks there,” he said.
Another Vanguard source said: “It is true our troops lost Monguno to Boko Haram. They have taken over the town and the military barracks.
“Our troops had to withdraw after fighting the terrorists for several hours. They came in full force and at the end overpowered our men."
“Our fear now is that families of some of our men are trapped in the barracks and of course, the locals, including men and women and children need to be rescued."
“We also have fighting equipment there and it will be dangerous to leave them at the mercy of the terrorists."
