•Zulum visits location for on-the-spot assessment Kingsley Nwezeh in Abuja and Michael Olugbode in Maiduguri Multiple attacks by insurgents in Dikwa and Marte towns in Dikwa and Marte local government areas of Borno State forced over 100 troops to desert the Nigerian Army, THISDAY checks have revealed. The insurgents have attacked Dikwa four times since the beginning of the year, on January 30, February 20, March 1, and March 2. The attacks had also trapped 25 United Nations workers in a bunker, prompting troop reinforcement and deployment of air strikes to repel the terrorists. The Nigerian Army had denied reports of a mistake in an internal memo issued with regard to missing soldiers after an attack. It claimed it was taken out of context in some reports, insisting some of the soldiers have re-joined the army. But authentic official army documents point to the contrary.
