At least 22 persons were killed in separate attacks this week by suspected Boko Haram gunmen in Monguno Local Government Area of Borno State, security sources said.

The attacks were carried out between Monday and Tuesday, according to a top official of the Vigilante Group of Nigeria in Borno State, Abbas Gava.

The vigilante usually work with soldiers to secure Borno, and the government has said many of them will be recruited into the army after the Boko Haram is defeated.

The source informed TIMES that the villages of Dasa and Duwabayi, both in Monguno Local Government Area, were attacked by the Boko Haram insurgents.

“We received the sad information from our colleagues operating in Monguno who said on Monday that gunmen attacked Dasa, a village about 3km away from Monguno during which they killed nine persons”, said Mr. Gava who also functions as the spokesman of the local vigilante group in the state.

“On Tuesday night, again, the gunmen went to attack Duwabayi, another village not far away from Dasa, where they killed 13 persons – making it a total of 22 dead casualties. The gunmen who stormed the villages in large numbers ensured that they burnt down every building in the two villages”.

Mr. Gava added that of his vigilante group on Wednesday in Monguno arrested one of the notorious amirs (commander) of Boko Haram whom they reportedly handed over to the soldiers in Monguno.

He said residents of the two villages fled their homes in the wake of the attacks.


Monguno is one of the most attacked local government areas located within the northern axis of Borno state.

The local government headquarters, also called Monguno, fell under the control of Boko Haram on January 25, 2015 when the insurgents overran the town and the 243 Battalion barracks there.

After Nigerian soldiers retook the barracks, it was upgraded to its present 8th Task Force Division, Nigeria Army.

The spokesman of the 8th Task Force Division, Colonel Onyema Nwachukwu, who usually communicates through WhatsApp, was not available to speak on the attacks.

The Boko Haram attacks have continued despite continued negotiations with the federal government for the release of the kidnapped Chibok girls.

Twenty one of the over 200 girls kidnapped from Chibok in Borno State in 2014 have already been released by the insurgents.

The federal government recently denied it paid ransom to free the girls.

Don't worry those lives lost means nothing to the president.

Boko haram has been technically defeated, you people are just Wailers who hate Buhari

God by your power fight this boko haram yourself.

Buharis boys at it again.

Ntooor!

Invoking...... Lalasticlala

There is no way the blood of innocent civilians won't be on Buhari's head...

Incompetent man who can't do anything. ..

WHat is happening in this country


what is happening

may God help us all...people are still being killed with recession in their hands...for how long can we suffer like this??..

may Gods kingdom come..human rulers have failed us...

I expect baba to send sympathy message but as this is in Nigeria....NO

Baba GEJ We All Miss You including DONSMITH123

It seems media can no longer hide these incessant attacks of BHTs. Everyday, we used to see the pictures of 'another fallen hero' on Nairaland without any report of BH attack, I used to ask myself those times, how did these soldiers end up being killed without any BH attack?

BH war was previously won on media, but the reality is setting in now and may God save us.

After buhari release their main fighters and give them 50 million dollars

This is the result because nof use political gain of releasing chibok girls

Nigeria not safe under the clueless president

Where is Buratai and his claims.

They wanted to please the people and paid so much to the Sect. Now they can differentiate between Amnesty for ND militants and Amnesty for Boko Haram.

lalasticlala

Even if they islamize Nigeria. Boko haram will still kill.
Confused and evil people









Check my signature and turn 20$ to 100$ in less than a week

What do you expect from Boko Haram when their sympathizer released their top commanders & paid gratuity to them??


It will not be well with Chinakwe's dog

EMMAUGOH:
I expect baba to send sympathy message but as this is in Nigeria....NO

Baba is busy in Morocco he is not interested with what goes on in the country

Dry season is here and it is expected that boko haram attacks will increase, as there will be better movement of these terrorists.
It is quite sad that the present istration made it seem as if there were defeated.

Chai, but according to Buhari & his attack dogs, boko haram has been technically defeated, they now kill just unimportant soft targets

I will defeat boko haram in 2 months - :- Buhari 2015.

These are the people who released the Chibok girls free of charge after 3 years in captivity

Those Boko Haram wey dem dey claim say them don dey catch since this Insurgency,

Which helpful and useful intel government don get from them?

People losing their lives everyday in this country thanks to a visionless, directionless, lying government. Did they not claim Boko haram was technically defeated?

With the recent spate of attacks shows that either the FG swapped their fighters for the chibok gals or Huge amount of money was released to them and they used it to stock up their armory...

Buhari sef

This country is in such a pitiable state.

Haai

Just yesterday, some blockhead wanted to know why Nigeria was rated the 3rd most terrorized country in the world, above Yemen and a few others.
Well... Dumbo, you have your answer here.
