Nigerian troops managed to repel an attack by Boko haram on the very large city of Maiduguri this weekend, killing around 500 of the Islamo-Nazi cockroaches while doing so:
CBN NEWS – Nigerian troops pushed back an attack by radical Islamist fighters from Boko Haram Sunday.
Troops from the terror group attacked the biggest city in northeast Nigeria, Maiduguri.
Several civilians were killed by aerial bombs along with grenades and mortar shells on the ground.
Homes shook for five hours from heavy artillery fire in the city of 2 million, which has been a key target for Boko Haram.
One army officer said their radical fighters attacked on all four roads leading into the city.
Government soldiers reportedly killed up to 500 of the fighters from Boko Haram.
Voice of America adds this:
A VOA reporter, Abdulkareem Haruna, saw hundreds of civilians armed with hunting rifles, clubs and machetes advance toward the battles, saying they want to help the soldiers stop the militants.
That’s pretty awesome.
