24 hours after Boko Haram men captured Chibok
town in Borno state, soldiers from the 7th Division
of the Nigerian army yesterday reclaimed the
community after a long gun battle that started
yesterday morning.
An indigene of Chibok who spoke with Leadership,
said a large deployment of soldiers were seen
moving in from the direction of Damboa on
Saturday morning and engaged the sect members in
a gun battle, eventually overpowering them.
“We saw large number of trucks filled with
uniformed personnel moving towards Chibok;
initially, we were scared but later realised they
were soldiers as they did not harass us like the
Boko Haram gunmen usually do” the source said
