Soldiers, residents lament Boko Haram activities in Borno communities
Kurama Babagana, a resident of Dalori told DAILY POST that, the military repelled the attack.
Security sources in the area also said, an artillery was shelled towards the axis of the militants, and they subsequently retreated. “From this axis, our problem is that up till now, Alagarno, Talala and Ajigil areas have remained unpenetrated. We had on several occasions attempted to penetrate those areas on ground but to no avail and the insurgents are having their field days in those axes,” he lamented.
Residents of Dalori also said that there was an earlier report by some farmers that they saw movement of people in military uniforms prior to the attack. “When we received such information as community leaders, we would quickly report to the soldiers. Until they started firing in the evening, we thought those farmers saw military patrol earlier on. But it turned out that, those they reported to have seen were militants afterall,” Alhaji Kambar said.
