Boko Haram kills two mobile policemen

Boko Haram terrorists have killed two mobile policemen (MOPOL) in a fresh attack on Damboa town in Borno State, north-east Nigeria.

It was learnt that the insurgents also burnt down the MOPOL barracks.

“The insurgents drove into Damboa from Biu Road around 5.30pm on Thursday in eight gun trucks and operated for over one hour.

“When they got into the town, they headed straight to the MOPOL barracks and started shooting indiscriminately. They killed two MOPOL and razed down the whole building. They also burnt down two MOPOL vehicles.

“Afterwards, they headed to the CJTF Outpost and set it on fire. They also burnt one vehicle of the CJTF,” a source disclosed per Punch.

It was also reported that troops of the Nigerian Army repelled the attack. As at the time of publishing this report, it is not yet clear if there was any casualty on the side of the terrorists.

The Boko Haram insurgency began in July 2009, when the jihadist group Boko Haram started an armed rebellion against the government of Nigeria. The conflict takes place within the context of the insurgents’ ultimate aim to establish an Islamic state in the country.
