Soldiers Kill 25 Boko Haram, Recoverarms In Fresh Attack On Damboa by bruno419(m): 1:59pm On Oct 20, 2014
Atleast 25 members of the Boko Haram
terrorists group were on Sunday night killed by
troops of the 7 Division, Nigerian Army in
Damboa Local Government Area of Borno state.
Security officials have said.
The attack on Damboa had cast much doubts
that many concerned had expressed over the
much talked- about ceasefire deal the federal
government said it signed on Friday with the
Boko Haram gunmen.
It would be recalled that Boko Haram had on the
17th of July 2014 hoisted their flags in Damboa
after a deadly gunbattle that left, five
policemen, several soldiers and Lieutenant
Colonel Commanding the military base in
Damboa dead with property worth billions of
naira destroyed.
A reliable security source in Maiduguri told our
Correspondent that the insurgents invaded
Damboa town at about 5:15pm on Sunday.
Damboa is south and 85km drive from
Maiduguri, the state capital. It also share
borders with Sambisa forest where Boko Haram
has its largest suspected training camp.
A resident of Damboa, Mallam Aji Bukar Kura who
was among hundreds that fled to Chibok for
safety during the attack however said, they were
considering coming back to Damboa today
(Monday) as they were informed by security
operatives that the attack was repelled and more
than two dozens of them were killed.
Another source said “terrorists numbering over
100 in 7 Hilux pickup vans and motorcycles fully
armed with Rocket Propelled Launchers,
Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), AK47 rifles
stormed the town on Sunday night, they realized
that the town has started picking up live
following returning back of many fleeing
residents after military took over from the
terrorists who had captured the town in June
this year, but we are happy that they were
confronted”.
He however commended the gallantry effort of
the military troops in Damboa for successfully
repelling the attack which led to the killing over
over 20 terrorists with the recovery of arms and
ammunitions.
A text message sent to the Director Defence
Information, Major General Chris Olukolade
successfully delivered and a phone call put to
him for confirmation was not answered as at
press time.
But a top security source who is not authorized
to talk to the press confirmed the incident in
Maiduguri yesterday. He said, “There was an
attack on Damboa on Sunday evening and our
soldiers had effectively repelled them and killed
25 of them during a shootout.
“The soldiers were able to recover several
ammunition including a ‘Buffallo Armoured
Personnel Carrier which the terrorists
abandoned”, he said. End
