Suspected Boko Haram terrorists in a convoy of Toyota Hilux
vehicles and motorcycles laden with Improvised Explosive
Devices (IEDs) and petro-bombs attacked Babangida council
headquarters in Yobe state; torching the Divisional Police
Station, secretariat complex, telecom masts and several other
houses and buildings at 6.30am on Sunday.


Babangida is farming and herding community, and 50 kilometres
north of Damaturu, the state capital.
The gunmen, according to the District Head of Babangida, Alhaji
Isa Musa Gumcho, also carted away large quantities of food
items, petrol and diesel retrieved from stores and granaries of
residents.


“These gunmen attempted to attack our town on Saturday night,
but the soldiers repelled them towards Bayamari and into
Sasawa Forest, northeast of this council headquarters. But we
were however shocked and terrified, when the same insurgents
regrouped within six hours to attack us this morning (Sunday),
burning many houses, shops and our council secretariat
buildings that were torched three times last year and in 2012
and December, 2005,” said Gumcho.


He said even after the insurgents were repelled by the military,
some residents started fleeing, because of the fear of being
killed in the cross fire between soldiers and the gunmen.
On causalities, he however told newsmen in Damaturu that, “No
lives were lost in the multiple attacks, but many of our houses,
shops and public buildings, including telecom masts; were burnt
down by the Boko Haram terrorists group.


These boys are desperate for food and fuel, because most of the
routes of supplies are being checked and blocked by security
operatives in the Damaturu-Bayamari-Geidam-Gashua axis that
linked the Sasawa Forest,” adding that the same attacks were
launched two weeks ago in Fika and Ngalda.


The Yobe State Police Command also confirmed the incident,
stating that there was an attack on Babangida town, where a
police station was torched along with personal houses and other
public buildings on Sunday.


“There were no casualties in the attacks, but the insurgents
carted away some food items, livestock and fuel, and fled
towards Bayamari, a border village with Niger Republic,” said
the police source, who was not authorized to speak on the
incident.
