News: 74 men, 20 young boys killed for refusing to join Boko Haram

The Islamic sect, Boko Haram, yesterday, slaughtered 74
men and 20 young boys at Njaba Village in Damboa Local
Government Area of Borno State for refusing to join the
insurgents.
There was, however, no official confirmation from either
police or military authorities on the claims by residents of
both Damboa and Chibok, where over 200 schoolgirls were
abducted early last year.
It was gathered from some security operatives that some of
the insurgents, led by a commander, Sidi Babangida, also
known as Abu Sid, who had been on the wanted list of
security operatives, was said to have attempted taking
Damboa town on two occasions, but failed and had been
recruiting more fighters for the sect in and around Damboa
and Gujba Local Government areas in Borno and Yobe
states.
A security source, who spoke on grounds of anonymity
because he was not authorized to speak on the issue, said
they received the news of the attack and killing of 74 men
and 20 children, but added that there was no official report
on the incident as security operatives had been detailed to
Damboa area to authenticate the claim by locals.
The source said: “At times, when reports like these come to
us, it turns out to be true because the locals naturally tell
security operatives of happenings around them.
“They have been very helpful. There was report earlier by
some local traders that they saw the sect members holding
a meeting after they had been dislodged from Gujba and
Damboa is next to Gujba, along Yobe and Borno border.
“So it may be true. But try to speak with the commissioner.
He may oblige you more on that.”
When Vanguard tried calling the Police Public Relations
Officer, DSP Gideon Jibril, his phone was busy and when
this reporter visited the police headquarters in Maiduguri for
confirmation, the PPRO and Police Commissioner were said
to be out on assignments. CLICK HERE TO READ FULL AND TOUCHING NIGERIAN CELEBRITIES BIOGRAPHY AND SCANDALS
