The troops of 25 Task Force Brigade on Friday repelled a terrorist attack on Damboa town in Borno State.

The troops were said to have overpowered militants from the Islamic State-backed faction of Boko Haram, the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), in a gun battle, forcing them to flee.

The insurgents had reportedly stormed the town around 6:35 am, shooting in all directions.

This created tension among residents but troops reportedly engaged them in a heavy shootout, forcing them to retreat.

A source said the terrorists were first sighted around Mandara Garau on Thursday while converging in a large number of trucks.

He said the plan was to attack a transit camp for 'repentant' fighters in Sabon Gari, Damboa.

“They fled after they sighted the Airforce fighter jet on Thursday. Again, they returned this morning. They wanted to attack the ex-militants' transit camp in Sabon Gari, Damboa.

“So while attempting to infiltrate the town, the soldiers engaged them in a heavy shootout. Those who survived the troops' onslaught fled, abandoning their evil mission,” the source added.

Since the death of JAS leader, Abubakar Shekau, ISWAP has been consolidating its grip in locations around Lake Chad.

Just recently, it appointed Wali Sani Shuwaram, a 45-year-old as the new leader (Wali) of ISWAP in Lake Chad.

The sect’s membership has swollen with the defection of hundreds of Boko Haram fighters under Shekau.

The Nigerian Army has repeatedly claimed that insurgency had been largely defeated and frequently underplayed any losses.

The terror group has caused over 50,000 deaths and displaced millions of individuals mainly in Adamawa, Borno, and Yobe states.

Terrorists Political Parties


or should we call it... Nigerian Terrorists Parties


FTC dedicated to Jennifer, the only lady that wanted to terrorize my heart...

Happy Birthday to you

The Nigerian government can never win the war against insurgency because of the insincerity of some political actors.

When ISWAP was pressed and fleeing from Chadian forces under Idris Derby , what did the Nigerian government do ? They happily welcomed the fleeing terrorist into Nigeria and halted the onslaught created by the chadians.

But now, see how the insurgents keep multiplying and threatening to expand their hold over northeastern states in Nigeria

Shameless soldiers

Nigeria soldiers are very excellent at protecting Boko Haram people than protecting their own military generals at the army headquarters


The other day they were helping Boko Haram to stop Iswap dispute

Repentant kee them there, terrorist will always be a terrorist, just like Buhari is a terrorist and will die a terrorist

Yawn

When they retreated with wounds as you claimed, did you follow them up for clearance operation or you allowed them to go and regroup so that they can attack your location again
