Contrary to claims by a notorious Islamic State (ISIS)-affiliated militants, ISWAP, it has been revealed that only three Nigerian soldiers paid the supreme price in the attack involving the group.
It was also gathered that while few other soldiers were wounded, the troops, supported by the Air Component of Operation Hadin Kai, successfully repelled the assault.
The militant reportedly deployed four VBIED at the army camp, two were detonated, while two others were destroyed.
“Attached is a photo of the armoured vehicles that was destroyed by the Air Task Force, but in their own narrative, they were showcasing the militant on the vehicle and advancing towards the camp.
“This was its usual propaganda style, of exaggerating  its role in the assault by fabricating details to mislead the public and bolster its image after suffering a decisive defeat,” the Nigerian Army said.
