Residents say Boko Haram destroyed a military base as soldiers fled
and only self-defence fighters prevented the insurgents from retaking a
northeastern Nigerian town.
Resident James Ularamu said civilian
fighters held Gulak town on Sunday night until the military sent
reinforcements who fought off the extremists.
The attack came as a
military intelligence officer confirmed that 107 soldiers remain
missing five days after a battle in which the
rebels drove away in a
T-72 tank. The officer spoke on condition of anonymity because he is not
authorised to speak on the issue.
Nigeria's military has denied dozens of soldiers are missing, but it often does not report embarrassing information.
