ISWAP overruns Nigerian army base, kills commander, others | The Guardian Nigeria News - Nigeria and World News


Kareto is around 135 km (84 miles) northwest of Borno state capital Maiduguri, not far from the Niger border. The Nigerian Army is yet to confirm the incident. However, a military source said the attack by the rampaging terrorists occurred on June 12, Nigeria’s new Democracy Day. Nigeria’s military and government have repeatedly said they are on the point of defeating the militants. One assault on an army post on the border with Niger in September left 48 people dead.
