Troops of the Nigerian Army on Monday January 10, 2022 successfully repelled an attack on the Tukur Yusufu Buratai Institute for War and Peace (TBI) in Borno State by gunmen suspected to be Boko Haram members.
According to a statement by the Management, the TBI, a research Institute of the Nigerian Army University located about 40 kilometers away from Biu, was attacked by the gunmen around 2pm but were repelled by troops stationed in the institute.
However, two lives were lost in the attack.
The statement read in part:
“The terrorists who came in their numbers were met by superior firepower forcing them to retreat in disarray.
“Unfortunately, 2 civilian staff of the Institute paid the supreme price.
“Management wishes to commend troops for their gallantry during the attack and to commiserate with families of the fallen staff.
