Some elements of
Boko Haram terrorists on 6 motorcycles yesterday attacked in which they killed
4 persons and abducted 4 women from the village. Consequently, the local
vigilante in Kaya mobilized immediately to the village and trailed the
terrorists up to their suspected hideout located somewhere south of Sabon Garin
Bale.
The vigilante did
their best by engaging the terrorists, unfortunately they escaped into the
bush. But the courageous vigilantes destroyed the terrorists camp and
recovered all hoisted Boko Haram terrorists’ flags, 3 Fabrique
Nationale (FN) rifle magazines, 2 AK-45 rifle magazines and 24 rounds of 7.62mm
(NATO) ammunition. The vigilantes also rescued an 11 year old girl who stated
that she was abducted by the terrorists from Batha village. Sadly
however, the vigilante could not trace the terrorists or the abducted
women. However, effort is on going to trace and rescue them.
In a related
development, a team of local vigilante in Damboa led by Sarkin Yaki Ali
Gwoza intercepted some persons along Njaba road, south of Damboa town
while on patrol. During preliminary interrogation, they confessed that
they were Boko Haram terrorists group members that were compelled to join
the insurgency against their will and that they were on their way to Damboa to
surrender to the military. They attributed their decision to give up
their nefarious activities because continued military onslaught and that life
has become hard and unbearable for the terrorists generally.
Further screening
has confirmed 17 of them as hardened Boko Haram terrorists trying
to escape and infiltrate the society.
Similarly, a combined
patrol team of 7 Division Garrison, 101 Special Forces Battalion and 3 Civilian
JTF, while on clearance patrol, intercepted a Golf car with registration
