BOKO HARAM BURNS DOWN BORNO VILLAGE
Dreaded Sect, Boko Haram on Wednesday night, burned down a village in Borno state. The terrorists attacked Mammanti village along Damboa Road, chasing villagers away from their homes and torching their houses.
In a statement to the Press on the development, the Nigerian army stated;
“Frustrated by the current military deployments which has made most towns and villages impenetrable in the North East, the BHTs, have resorted to arson of makeshift houses in remote settlements.
Just before Midnight on 14 November 2018, a pocket of BHTs sneaked into Mammanti village along Damboa Road in Borno State, fired some shots to scare the inhabitants and set some houses ablaze.
Troops from 251 Task Force Battalion were quickly mobilized to engage the BHTs who fled in disarray. However, 2 civilians were wounded and have been evacuated to a nearby hospital for treatment. Exploitation of the area is ongoing.”
