Damboa LGA Under Heavy Attack By ISWAP

Damboa local government area of Borno State, is under heavy attack by terrorists of Islamic State West Africa Province, ISWAP.

Though reports are sketchy, information available as of the time of filing this report indicates that the insurgents came to the town early around 5:30 am Friday morning and are currently setting houses and public property ablaze,

No reports of human casualty yet but Damboa is one of the few towns that refused to be displaced by the insurgency despite its proximity to Sambisa and being a target of several attacks by the ISWAP terrorists.

This attack is the third one in a month in Damboa.
