The Nigerian Army has confirmed an attack on a military base by suspected members of the Boko Haram sect in Yobe state, North-East Nigeria.

Director of Army Public Relations, Brigadier General Texas Chukwu, revealed this in a statement on Monday.

He, however, condemned the reports that at least 600 soldiers were missing after the insurgents overran the base.

Chukwu also faulted claims that about 100 of the troops that disappeared from the base in Jilli after the clash, reported in Geidam town while very few of them had their weapons with them.

He stated categorically that the reports were not only far from the truth, but also capable of misleading the public.

The Army spokesman informed Nigerians that the soldiers promptly repelled the attack while none of them was dead or missing.
