“We lost four mobile policemen and two civilian militia fighting alongside soldiers during the fight with the terrorists.”
Jihadists killed four police officers and two civilian militiamen in an attack on a military base in northeast Nigeria’s Borno state on Wednesday, security sources told AFP.
“We lost four mobile policemen and two civilian militia fighting alongside soldiers during the fight with the terrorists,” said a military officer, who spoke on condition of anonymity. Nigeria’s decade-long jihadist insurgency has killed 36,000 people and displaced two million others inside the country, and spilled into neighbouring Niger, Chad and Cameroon.
More than 50 residents were injured by shrapnels from grenades fired by the jihadists, he said, after some strayed into nearby homes.
