JTF, Vigilance Group Raid Boko Haram Hideout, Kill Seven by Chimerase(m): 10:34am On Jul 23, 2013
FOLLOWING intelligence reports from Maiduguri, residents to members of Borno Vigilance Youths Group (BVYG) and military Joint Task Force (JTF) on Sunday, killed seven Boko Haram terror suspects and arrested six others in Bama town, after two-hour house-to-house search operations in two wards of the township by 4 p.m.
Bama is a border town with Cameroun; and 78 kilometres east of Maiduguri, the state capital; and an epicentre of Boko Haram sect activities.

The arrested suspects, according to an eyewitness Monday, were picked up by the vigilance youths that stormed the suspected hideouts of fleeing Boko Haram sect members.

He said: “We were sitting under this tree shade; when we saw some youths with sticks, knives and cutlasses in two buses and five tricycles headed towards Tandari ward of Bama town. Five minutes, after soldiers in their patrol vehicles also backed up the youths before the fleeing gunmen were arrested in the evening.

He said even though there were no exchanges of gunfire initially between the fleeing terror suspects and soldiers, seven of them were however, gunned down while attempting to escape towards the outskirts of Tandari areas of Bama town.

Speaking on the house-to-house searches, the source told The Guardian that the Boko Haram sect members must have fled from the destroyed Sambisa Games Reserves Forest, while others could have infiltrated the township from Maiduguri or Konduga, before they were rounded up here yesterday by vigilance youths and JTF.

A hospital attendant at the Specialists Hospital, Maiduguri also said that seven bodies were brought in by a JTF patrol vehicle from Bama by 5.35 p.m. on Sunday.

Confirming the incident yesterday, spokesman of JTF, Lt. Col Sagir Musa said that the soldiers assisted the vigilance youths in the arrest of six terror suspects at Bama, while seven were killed in an exchange of gunfire in one of the suspects’ hideouts. The youths, according to him, were escorted by men of JTF; and returned safely to Maiduguri metropolis without being hurt or killed in the Bama youth’s operations.
