TROOPS of the 7 Division of the Nigerian Army in Borno State at the weekend foiled another attack on Damboa town with the killing of scores of suspected Boko Haram gunmen while some of them fled into Sambisa Forest by 5:00 p.m.

Damboa is the council headquarters, and 87 kilometres south of Maiduguri, the state capital.

According a Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF) member, Habu Musa, the insurgents were intercepted at Kalla village, about two kilometres away from Damboa, when the troops of the Nigerian Army sighted them coming to attack the town.

He said: "The insurgents, who sneaked in at about noon, were incepted by the troops, who swiftly reacted by firing artillery missiles and repelled them.

A military source also said that their men in Damboa successfully foiled another attempt to take over Damboa, as they crushed the insurgents in the two-hour operations near the forest.
