Confidential informants have verified that the attackers reached the base in armored vehicles equipped with guns. They destroyed multiple structures and military vehicles throughout their assault.

“Many soldiers were seriously injured while several other personnel have gone missing,” a source said.

“The commanding officer of the battalion a lieutenant Colonel, two senior officers, including the base medical director, were among those killed in the attack.”

149 Taskforce Brigade Malam-Fatori is located two kilometres from the Nigerien border town of Bosso in Lake Chad where the insurgents are currently hibernating.

A military source disclosed that the attack on the military base happened when troops were on routine operations in the Timbuktu triangle from where they drove into an ambush that resulted in the death of the Commanding officer, Lieutenant Colonel Alari.

The Defence Headquarters, the Nigerian Army, and the other authorities have not commented on the latest attack.

The Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) split from the mainstream Boko Haram in 2016 to become the dominant militant faction in the northeast.

They seized territory hitherto under Boko Haram control, including the Timbuktu Triangle and Sambisa forest, a game reserve turned jihadist stronghold.

The group is notorious for planting roadside mines and rigging vehicles with explosives to target troops.

Last July, seven troops were killed when their vehicle hit a landmine in a village where ISWAP is active.

The 15-year-old conflict has killed 40,000 and displaced around two million from their homes in the northeast.

The violence spilled into neighbouring Niger, Chad, and Cameroon, leading to the creation of a regional force to fight the militants
