A Commanding officer was killed in Nigeria as Boko Haram group overran a Military Barracks in Bono State Nigeria on Monday, March 9, 2026.
DailyTrust reports that the insurgents attacked the military base around 12:30am.
“They (terrorists) stormed the town from multiple directions and launched an attack on the military camp,”a source said
Another security source said that the insurgents dislodged the troops from the base, set vehicles ablaze and carted away ammunition.
“I cannot say much about the casualties but it’s very sad that we also lost the CO (commanding officer) here,” one of the security sources said
Last month, the insurgents had attacked the military base but the gallant troops repelled the attack, killing many terrorists. The brave response was commended by the community, which earned the Commanding Officer accolade and he was widely celebrated, particularly on social media.
