A military document has revealed that 104 Nigerian Army personnel have been declared deserters following a Boko Haram attack on their base in Borno State.
The soldiers, who were attached to the 162 Amphibious Battalion stationed along the Mandara–Buratai Road, were reportedly declared missing after allegedly leaving their duty post with their personal weapons following the attack.
According to a report by SaharaReporters, the soldiers were said to have “absconded” after the June 5 attack, which reportedly claimed the lives of at least eight military personnel.
A military source said the insurgents attacked the base around 4 a.m. during rainfall, resulting in multiple casualties and injuries among troops.
A military signal marked “RESTRICTED” reportedly confirmed that the 104 personnel had been declared deserters more than three weeks after the incident.
The document stated that the soldiers and 103 others allegedly left their deployment location for an unknown destination with their weapons following the Boko Haram/ISWAP attack.
Military authorities were also said to have frozen the bank accounts of the affected personnel and instructed security formations to arrest any of them found within their areas of operation.
The affected personnel reportedly include one Staff Sergeant, three Sergeants, seven Corporals, 38 Lance Corporals and 55 Privates.
The Nigerian Army had not released an official statement regarding the matter as of the time of the report.
