What's the true situation in Bama? Did soldiers really conquer Boko Haram?

This is quite confusing. The Nigerian military and
the presidency is claiming that Boko Haram didn't
capture Bama yesterday, which is contrary to
what many media sources including Sahara
Reporters, AIT, Channels, BBC and Punch are
reporting. According to Nigerian military, the
Nigerian Armed Forces chased out Boko Haram
from Bama town yesterday and even killed 59
insurgents but according to Punch today, I80
people were killed yesterday during the battle with
the insurgents.
They said the spokesman of the youth vigilante in
the town, Barr. Jubrin Gonda, made this
revelation. And according Channels TV, residents
said the insurgents have gained control of the
town. Witnesses say after the initial military
intervention in repelling the attack. The sect
members re-grouped and launched a successful
attack on the town which they say is presently
under the control of the sect.

A military officer, who spoke on condition of
anonymity, as he was not authorised to
speak on behalf of the military, says the
soldiers on ground did their best in repelling
the first attack but ran out of ammunition as
there was no reinforcement for subsequent
operation.
“I can confirm to you that the soldiers on
ground did their best in repelling the first
attack but we ran out of ammunitions and it
will not be a surprise if they have eventually
taken control of the town
“We needed immediate reinforcement but
nothing came and I can categorically tell
you that there is sabotage somewhere,” the
army officer said.
He said the foot soldiers were willing to end
the insurgency but lacked needed support.
Report says the insurgents also launched an
attack on Mongonu town which also has a
military barracks like that of Bama.
The Bama military barracks last year
suffered attack by the dreaded sect
members, as part of the barracks was
vandalised during the attack.
At the moment, Madagali in Adamawa State,
as well as Gwoza, Pulka and now Bama of
Borno State are under the control of the
dreaded sect members the Boko Haram.
President Goodluck Jonathan had in July
requested for immediate approval of one
billion dollars external borrowing by the
National Assembly to tackle insurgency and
terrorism in Nigeria’s north-east.
In a letter to the Senate, read by the
President, David Mark, President Jonathan
said the money would be used to upgrade
the equipment of the Nigerian Armed Forces.
President Jonathan stressed that there was
an urgent need to upgrade the equipment,
training and logistic of the country’s Armed
Forces and Security services to enable them
confront the serious threat posed by Boko
Haram sect more forcefully.
The loan has not been approved.
