Barely three days after the announcement of an
alleged ceasefire agreement between the
Federal Government and Boko Haram, no fewer
than 25 members of the sect, have been
reportedly killed in fierce battle with soldiers in
Damboa town of Borno State.
After being repelled by troops in Sabon Gida town
which is also in Damboa LGA, they launched an
attack on Damboa at about 5pm on Sunday, October
19, with an attempt to wreck havoc on residents who
had just returned after fleeing the town due to their
attacks, Leadership reports.
A senior official of Damboa is of the opinion that the
sect that attacked Damboa were different from the
ones repelled at Sabon Gida.

“From the information I have, the insurgents were
armed to the teeth and the Nigerian soldiers were
also well equipped. Our prayer is that God should
protect both the army and our helpless civilians who
have started settling in their homes after months of
distress ,” he said.

An official of the Nigerian Vigilante Group, Abbas
Muhammad Gava said the insurgents came from the
direction of Sambisa forest in several pickup vans
and some military-like armoured personnel carriers.
