“There was a bloody attack on a military camp in Kamuya by suspected terrorists on Wednesday. The attackers first succeeded in sacking the soldiers at their duty post, after which, they invaded the camp and carted away with huge arms and ammunitions.

“It was also gathered that three soldiers were feared dead with the setting ablaze of the entire camp,” the newspaper quoted a source.

According to the report, the incident according to sources took place on Wednesday, but due to lack of telecommunication network in the area, as it was hitherto vandalized by the sect, the information had to be delayed before reaching the press.

However, neither the police nor the military have confirm or deny the incident.
