No
fewer than 25 members of Boko Haram were killed yesterday October 19th
by troops of the 7th division of the Nigerian army after the sect
members launched a fresh attack at Damboa LGA in Borno state. Damboa is
the same town the sect captured in June but was recovered by the
Military in August.
Residents of the area said terrorists arrived
around 5pm yesterday in seven Hilux buses and many motorcycles, and
immediately started shooting at villagers. Fortunately, the military
stationed in the area returned fire an killed many of the sect members.
A resident of the town told Us.
"The
terrorist numbering over 100 in 7 Hilux pickup vans and motocycles
fully armed with Rocket Propelled Launchers, Improvised Explosive
Devices(IED), AK47 rifles, stormed the town on Sunday night. They
realized that the town had started picking up live following the
returning of many fleeing residents after military took over from the
terrorist who captured the town in June this year but we are happy that
they are confronted"
