Ngerian military intelligence officials say they
were surprised at the sophisticated weapons
being used by Boko Haram insurgents. The
reaction came after Nigerian troops captured
a T-55 armored tank and a highly sophisticate
Armored Personnel Carrier (APC) from the
Islamist insurgents in a battle yesterday at
Konduga, Borno State.
Our sources said Boko Haram fighters made
another big and desperate push to take
Konduga, a town that has been the scene of
incessant battles and disastrous outings for
Boko Haram fighters in recent weeks.
Boko Haram began their latest push on
Thursday, attacking Konduga from several
angles. But when they found out they were
getting defeated, some of the Islamist fighters
arrived at the scene of battle from the Bama
axis with a surprise weapon, a T-55 tank. Our
military sources disclosed that the insurgents
had never previously used such a mammoth
weapon in battle.
The tank and APC were eventually seized from
the insurgents after a fierce battle in which
soldiers killed more than 100 Boko Haram
terrorists. some 15 soldiers were also killed
during the firefight that lasted several hours.
The Nigerian army said the seizure of the tank
was a major blow to the insurgents. "The
sheer power of the tank surprised us. And the
tank has camouflage painting that made it
blend with the area in a way that it could not
have easily been detected by Nigerian jets
flying over the area," said a military officer.
SaharaReporters obtained an exclusive photo
of the armored tank which was taken to the
Maimalari Barracks after its capture.
One of our military sources said that Boko
Haram's ownership of the tank shows the
extent to which the sect is funded by powerful
as well as wealthy supporters and an indication
of the strength of the Islamic group's foreign
links.
