Against earlier reports that Damasak town in Borno State was taken over by Boko Haram terrorists, reliable sources in the town told DAILY NIGERIAN that the attack was repelled by the Nigerian troops.

Multiple sources in the town said they only heard the sound of gunfire around 6pm, which lasted for about an hour, but the insurgents never entered the town.m

The Nigerian Army had earlier said troops of 145 Battalion in Damasak, Borno State were engaging Boko Haram terrorists who came to attack their location at about 6p.m. on Wednesday.

“Fierce battle ongoing right now. The troops are dealing with the terrorists,” a terse statement by spokesman for Nigerian Army, Texas Chukwu, said.

A resident of the town who spoke to DAILY NIGERIAN on phone, Babagana Damasak, said, “We heard the sound of gunshots around 6pm, and after about an hour everything cleared.

“The battle started and ended at the military base. We never saw a single Boko Haram member inside the town. We even observed Magrib prayer in our mosques before going to our homes.”

Another source told DAILY NIGERIAN that what only happened in the wake of the attack was that a stray bullet hit a girl. “I cannot say whether the girl hit by the stray bullet is dead,” he said.

A security source in the town said the Nigerian Army succeeded in killing several members of the terrorist group during the fierce encounter.

Seriously given the level of developments regarding this particular issue, I must confess I don't know who to believe anymore ..

One thing is certain,I never & will never believe the APC & Nigerian army on the BH menace.

There is always an agenda behind Fake News

Ok

Dis report ryt here is d lie... Dey are trying so hard to suppress d reportage of these attacks. D report cites d resident as saying dey only heard d gunshots outside d town and den anoda source claims d only thing dat happened was a stray bullet hit a gal.. How did d resident in town know several of d attackers were killed since dey didn't succeed in entering d town? And how was a gal in town hit by a stray bullet from outside town? Even d army in anoda report admits d battle is still on going

@age 33, the OP still no get sense

I'm still asking oh, what is Pa Buhari doing with the $1bn he withdrew from ECA to fight Boko Haram?



If he has guzzled it he should let us know

Just like they denied that over 30 soldiers where killed by boko haram terrorist only for CNN, BBC and Aljazeera to expose the lies. Bloody lying govt.
I rather believe Satan than believe one word from Nigerian army.

Look at funny Igbo miscreants up there not believing the report but let the same reporter say the entire north was taken by boko haram come n see their excitement. Funny set of renegades.
