The attack is coming a day after 27 people were reportedly killed by the sect in a twin attack on July 15, around 6pm, in Sabon Gari village of Damboa LGA.
According to a vigilante official in Maiduguri, Abbas Gava, his men in the Damboa village said some youth vigilante group, known as Civilian-JTF, and few vigilante officials were available in Damboa to protect the people.
Mr Gava said: “Since the attack,Damboa has no police or soldiers. It is only the vigilantes that are there and we know their limitations. The casualty could be very high because my contacts in Damboa said they are still picking and piling the corpses. But many houses, nearly half of what remains of the several attacked town has been burnt” .
Soldiers had reportedly deserted Damboa following several attacks on the military base by the dreaded Boko Haram sect as attempts by soldiers to return to Damboa military base since two weeks ago are said to have failed.
The insurgents took over the
highway and continued to engage soldiers in ambush attacks that have forced them to return to Maiduguri on two occasions.
A senior security personnel, who prefers to be anonymous, confirmed Friday’s attack to PREMIUM TIMES. He said: “No details on extent of damage or casualty yet.”
