Just as we all thought the battle has ended, they
decided to attack again.

Abuja—Nigerian Army yesterday said some Boko Haram
fighters operating on 6 motorcycles on Tuesday attacked Kutuva village killing
four persons (civilian JTF) and abducting four women from the village.
This came as the army disclosed that 17 suspected
Boko Haram terrorists had surrendered after being overwhelmed by the fire power
of the military in the ongoing onslaught to dislodge remnants of the group.
According to a statement by Col Sani Usman, “following the killing of the
vigilantes, local vigilantes in Kaya Kaya village mobilized immediately and
trailed the terrorists up to their suspected hideout located somewhere south of
Sabon Garin Bale.
The vigilante did their best by engaging the terrorists,
unfortunately they escaped into the bush.
“But the courageous vigilantes
destroyed the terrorist’s camp and recovered all hoisted Boko Haram terrorists’
flags, three Fabrique Nationale (FN) rifle
magazines, two AK-45 rifle magazines and 24 rounds of 7.62mm (NATO) ammunition.
“The vigilantes also rescued an 11 year old girl who stated that she was
abducted by the terrorists from Batha village.
Sadly however, the vigilante could not trace the terrorists or the
abducted women. However, effort is ongoing to trace and rescue them.”
Continuing, the Army said: “In a related development, a team of local vigilante in Damboa led by
Sarkin Yaki Ali Gwoza intercepted some
persons along Njaba road, south of Damboa town while on patrol. During preliminary
interrogation, they confessed that they were Boko Haram terrorists group
members that were compelled to join the
insurgency against their will.
