News reaching us from Damatutu, Yobe State capital indicates that gunmen, suspected to be members of the Boko Haram sect, Monday morning invaded state capital shooting at anybody on sight. It was gathered that the gunmen’s first point of attack was the Yobe State University located in Damaturu. The attack, which is ongoing at the time of filing this report, has crippled early morning movement in the northeastern state. A resident said it was obvious the attackers were out to capture the capital city. www.dailypost.ng/2014/12/01/breaking-boko-haram-invades-damaturu-attacks-state-university/ |

Damaturu, the capital of Yobe state is under heavy attack by suspected Boko Haram terrorists who, according to fleeing residents, may have surrounded the town. Explosions and gunshots are being heard in some parts of the Yobe State capital. A resident of Damaturu, Yaya Haruna, told PREMIUM TIMES that the shooting started at about 6a.m. “It is as if they have surrounded us all here; there is sound of explosion and serious shooting. We are all lying down on the floor with our families ; please pray for our safety, that we survive this… ” “We are in serious confusion now, we are just hearing gunshots and explosions on the southern part of the city and people are fleeing”, said another embattled resident, Malam Abdulmalik. The resident said he was woken by loud sounds of gunshots and explosions which started at about 6am. An official of the SSS in Maiduguri, who usually doesn’t want to be named in the media, confirmed in a text message sent to our reporter that “Damaturu may be under attack now”. Damaturu is 135 km West of Maiduguri, Borno State capital. Details later… www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/172156-breaking-damaturu-heavy-boko-haram-attack.html?utm_source=&utm_medium=twitter |

Ismahill:How can Allah protect us when this idiots are killing in his name? As the Koran puts it, “Warfare is ordained for you, though it is hateful unto you; but it may happen that ye hate a thing which is good for you, and it may happen that ye love a thing which is bad for you. Allah knoweth, ye know not.” |

makzeze: Unsettling news coming from Damaturu, Yobe State, suggests that the capital in under attack. According to Leadership, the heavy attack involved shooting and explosion and was launched around 6:30am. The terrified residents of the town were forced to flee in fear for their lives. One of them identified as Malam Abdulmalik disclosed: “As I am talking to you now, we are in serious confusion now, gunshots and explosions everywhere especially from the southern part of the city and people are fleeing.” Another escaping local narrated that they had been woken up by multiple gunshots and blasts adding that the attack might be the work of the dreaded Boko Haram sect. READ ALSO: Boko Haram Attacks Shani, Shooting Indiscriminately A resident, who pleaded for anonymity, said: “We are running for our lives…we are under attack… We don’t know where to hide, the shooting is all over….” Premium Times also reports on the issue saying that the insurgents have apparently beseiged the town. One Damaturu, Yaya Haruna, said: “It is as if they have surrounded us all here; there is sound of explosion and serious shooting. We are all lying down on the floor with our families ; please pray for our safety, that we survive this… “ An official SSS source from Maiduguri confirmed the attack with a text message reading: “Damaturu may be under attack now”. The Nation correspondents was in the epicenter, having been run out of his house in Jerusalem area along with other thousands of residents. He said he heard 5deafening explosions. According to Sahara Reporters the gunmen, who have already attacked schools and mobile police base, are heading for the government house with the aim to seize the capital. It would be recalled that President Goodluck Jonathan has recently requested for another extension of emergency rule in Yobe, Borno and Adamawa states. However the move was not warmly and unanimously accepted in the National Assembly. |
