Boko Haram have issued a written warning to the
7th Division of the Nigerian Army alleging they would attack Maimalari
Barracks on Friday, March 21 (today).
According to
sources, the insurgents sent the letter to the military through one of
the drivers who managed to get through tight security. The letter was
written in the Hausa language.
The security measures are beefed up
in the Maimalari Barracks that accomodate the 7th Infantry Division of
the Artillery Corps, the Ordinance, the Signal, Engineering and other
crucial units of the Army in Maiduguri.
Although some security
agents described the letter only as a means to instill fear among the
soldiers, they are battle-ready to retaliate if need be.
It would
be recalled that over 350 insurgents were killed and a number of
Nigerian Army soldiers injured in the latest Boko Haram attack Giwa
Barracks, the Headquarters of the 21 Artillery Brigade on March 15,
2014.
