FULL LIST OF 104 NIGERIAN SOLDIERS DECLARED MISSING AFTER BOKO HARAM ATTACK

A classified military report has declared 104 Nigerian Army personnel as deserters following a Boko Haram attack on their base in Borno State.

The soldiers were attached to the 162 Amphibious Battalion along the Mandara–Buratai axis when the incident occurred on June 5, 2026.

Military sources said the troops allegedly abandoned their positions with their personal weapons during the attack carried out by suspected Boko Haram/ISWAP fighters. The assault reportedly left at least eight soldiers dead during an early morning raid carried out under heavy rainfall.

A restricted military signal later confirmed that the affected personnel had not returned to duty weeks after the incident and were officially declared deserters. Authorities also reportedly ordered the freezing of their bank accounts and directed that they be arrested if found within any military formation.

The Nigerian Army has not yet released an official statement on the development as of the time of this report.
