In a deadly assault, Boko Haram insurgents attacked a Nigerian military camp in Borno State on November 16, 2024, leaving at least 20 soldiers dead, according to military sources. The attack occurred in the town of Kareto, located in northern Borno, a region that has been embroiled in insurgency for over a decade. The assailants, believed to be affiliated with the Islamic State, launched the attack using a combination of weapons, including a suicide car bomb. Military sources told Channels TV that the Boko Haram terrorists destroyed a military vehicle during the attack, with some soldiers fleeing the scene. However, the insurgents managed to take control of the camp, setting it ablaze along with 14 vehicles. The attackers seized four four-wheel-drive vehicles and a substantial amount of weaponry, including heavy machine guns, before retreating. The full extent of the casualties has yet to be officially confirmed, but sources estimate that around 20 soldiers lost their lives in the assault. Governor Zulum Condemns Attack, Vows Continued Support for Armed Forces Borno State Governor, Prof. Babagana Umara Zulum, condemned the attack, offering condolences to the families of the fallen soldiers. In a statement issued on November 19, 2024, Governor Zulum expressed his sorrow, stating, "On behalf of the government and good people of Borno, I convey our heartfelt condolences to the armed forces and families of the deceased. May Allah rest their souls." He further emphasized that the attack was a grim reminder of Boko Haram's continued efforts to disrupt the state's recovery efforts, particularly the resettlement of internally displaced persons (IDPs) to their ancestral homes in northern Borno. Kareto is one of more than 20 towns being considered for the resettlement of IDPs. Governor Zulum reaffirmed his commitment to securing the state, stating that this attack would not deter the government's efforts to fulfill its responsibilities to the people. He expressed gratitude to the armed forces and security agencies for their sacrifices in safeguarding Borno and urged the people to remain steadfast in supporting the military in their ongoing efforts to combat terrorism. "We are eternally grateful to our gallant military and security forces for all they have been doing to safeguard lives and property in our state," said Governor Zulum. He also assured the public that the Borno State Government would continue to work closely with the armed forces to implement development and peacebuilding initiatives. The Ongoing Fight Against Boko Haram The assault on Kareto is the latest in a series of attacks by Boko Haram insurgents, who continue to pose a significant threat to the region despite ongoing military efforts to reclaim territory and restore peace.

By • Olalekan Fagbade Boko Haram may wipe Nigeria off the map – Borbo Governor Zulum warns Borno State governor, Babagana Zulum, has warned that the Boko Haram crisis may consume the nation if it is not contained. Speaking while hosting the reconstituted management board of the North-East Development Commission (NEDC) at the council chambers of the Borno State Government House in Maiduguri on Monday, he said the continuous existence of IDP camps in Local Government Areas of Borno is a potential time bomb. “The position of Borno State on the map of Nigeria is very important to all of us. Borno State is bordering Chad, Cameroon, and Niger Republic. Our borders are so porous and therefore maintaining security in the North-Eastern subregion entails maintaining the security of the entire country.” “While North-West and North-Central and others are speaking about banditry, kidnapping, and others, ours is Boko Haram and ISWAP. It’s better for us to control it, not for the sake of Borno State. The hub of Boko Haram and ISWAP is Borno State. We have to control them. “We have to stop the younger ones from being recruited into Boko Haram and ISWAP, otherwise, in the near future, the entire Nigeria will be wiped off the map.” While lamenting the number of people in IDPs, Zulum said the development has worsened the plight of the people. “And then in Borno State, in the year 2012, about 3.5 million people were displaced. We returned many but still, we have over one million people: internally displaced people living in IDPS camps – that is increasing prostitution in IDP camps, that is increasing procreation without care in the IDP camps. There is drug abuse in the IDP camps,” Zulum added. “And therefore we want the intervention of the North East Development Commission. We want you to partner with the state government for us to close these IDP camps so that people can earn their means of livelihood by themselves. “Otherwise, many of the people will decide to join ISWAP and Boko Haram. These people who are living in IDP camps are a matter of great concern to all of us. On the assumption of duty, I promised the people of Borno State that I’d close all official camps that are inside Maiduguri Metropolitan Council and we did so with the help of Almighty Allah. “Now my next agenda is to see how we shall close all the IDP camps that are in the local government areas without which there shall be no peace.”
