An unidentified Nigerian soldier serving in one of the military formations that were overrun by terrorists of the Boko Haram sect has cried out after the insurgents carted away ammunition and weapons from the base’s armory.

In a trending video shared on X, the soldier is heard lamenting about how the terrorists invaded and attacked the 153 Task Force Battalion in Marte Local Government Council of the state, dislodging the troops on Monday.

In the attack, it was reported that the gunmen burnt down armoured tanks and made away with all the ammunition and weapons in the base while several soldiers were killed.

The insurgents reportedly stole three gun trucks from the base and burned down the military base and other vehicles, including Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles.
