At least 14 Boko Haram fighters killed after an attack with the aim of taking over a military base in Mainok in Borno State. The militants were met by the resistance from the troops in the outpost which led to the defeat of the ISIS-affiliated Boko Haram leading to the death of the 14 and the impounding of several trucks used to ferry the jihadist to the location of the attack.
According to eyewitness accounts, the militants came in trucks closing roads and chanting that they were after the military who have been inflicting numerous casualties on the Boko Haram in the recent months.
There has been an upsurge in attacks which is an indication that Boko Haram is feeling pressure and is fighting back to secure weapons, ammunition, food and supplies.
