An unspecified number of people including security personal have been reported killed by a Boko Haram attack on Damboa Village.
Some of the eyewitnesses said the insurgents came at about 30 gun trucks mounted and began to fire sporadically at anything within sight. “ When they starting shooting people began to run to the bush. The hunters and CJTF along with soldiers engaged them, but it seems they have come prepared until the soldiers get air support before the insurgents began to withdraw, ” Adamu Yusuf disclosed.
We are lucky because of the Airforce jet. It would have been worse without them. The soldiers on the ground also did well,” he informed.
