BOKO HARAM: Over 128killed In Recent Attacks by Beautydiva(f): 8:29am On Oct 30, 2013 |
Yesterday, new details of last week’s Boko Haram attacks on Damaturu, the Yobe State capital, emerged and it was revealed that no fewer than 128 people were killed. Reports by Associated Press (AP) have made it known that 23 soldiers, eight policemen and 95 insurgents were killed in the five-hour long battle between the Islamic extremists and troops. These details were compiled through the use of Military and Hospital reports. Although, no exact figure was given on the number of casualties, reports showed that militants had a strong hand and caught troops by surprise. The attack came after a lull and almost six months after the federal government imposed a state of emergency in Yobe along with Borno and Adamawa states.
