Boko Haram Seizes Army Base In Northeast Nigeria
MAIDUGURI, Nigeria, Jan 4 (Reuters) - Nigerian Islamist militants have overrun an army base in the remote northeastern town of Baga, security sources said on Sunday.
Baga is notionally the headquarters of a multinational force comprising troops from Niger, Nigeria, Chad and Cameroon, although only Nigerian troops are actually stationed there.
Troops eventually fled the remote station on the semi-desert shores of Lake Chad after it was attacked on Saturday, both sources said. The military was not immediately available for comment. (Reporting by Lanre Ola; Writing by Tim Cocks; Editing by Kevin Liffey)
