Fleeing Boko Haram Members Kill Three in Borno Community - THISDAYLIVE via thisdaylive
Fleeing suspected Boko Haram members on Monday besieged Lassa town, in Borno State destroying some properties and killing three persons.
The military was said to have had an edge, forcing the insurgents to retreat towards their enclave in Sambisa Forest. “Because we have already heard of the attack on Michika and suspected that we could be attacked, we have fled into bushes and it was only those that were reluctant that were caught in the fire.”Another resident of Lassa, Peter Ishaku told our correspondent that: “We need your prayers; Boko Haram entered Lassa last night around 8. 00 p.m; three people were killed, but we thank God the situation was calmed by the military and the vigilantes.
“The troops immediately organised blocking positions and swooped on the terrorists, which led to an exchange of fire. The terrorists attempted to escape, but were intercepted and suppressed with heavy volume of fire. Further exploitation is to be conducted this morning. Calm has since returned to the city and inhabitants of the town are hereby enjoined to report the presence of strange faces in their localities and go about their normal businesses.”
