LEADERSHIP had earlier reported how the ISWAP terrorists attacked and looted armoury in the Marte Military Base and killed four soldiers, while thousands of villagers fled their homes to the neighbouring Dikwa local government area of the State.

A security source who is familiar with the situation revealed that many soldiers were either abducted or wounded in the attack by the invading terrorists.

“This morning, about 20 soldiers are still missing. They are yet to return after yesterday’s (Monday) sad incident, but we are hopeful they are alive,” the security source said.

Another source urged the military to mobilise resources to confront the deadly groups.

“We are experiencing renewed attacks from the terrorists; they are still in control of the base, and armed forces should, as a matter of urgency, restore normalcy in the affected communities, ” the source added.

Meanwhile, troops of the Nigerian Army, in collaboration with Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTFL) and hunters, have repelled a deadly attack on Dikwa, the neighbouring local government area to Marte.

A CJTF member who spoke on the condition of anonymity said the terrorists sent two drones for surveillance before launching the attack on a military outpost.

He said the attack occurred around 1:00am on Tuesday and lasted for one hour, with heavy resistance from the Nigerian Army and CJTF.

”They may have followed our troops who retreated from the unfortunate incident that happened in Marte, but this time, our military responded beautifully and secured our territory,” the source stated.
