ISWAP attacks Damboa LGA in Borno

Days after the severe attack that killed a general and three other officers of the Nigerian Army in Chibok/Askira Uba in southern Borno, Damboa, another near Local Government Area is currently under severe attack by insurgents of Islamic State West Africa Province.

Information has it that the insurgents came to the town early around 5:30 am Friday morning and are currently setting houses and public property ablaze. This attack is the third one in a month in Damboa.

No reports of human casualty yet but Damboa is one of the few towns that refused to be displaced by the insurgency despite its closeness to Sambisa and being a target of several attacks by the ISWAP terrorists.
