Saturday May 17th as Boko Haram gunmen attacked Dalwa-Masuba village
in Damboa LGA of Borno State, Premium Times reports.
Security sources and a witness said the gunmen stormed the village in
large numbers and burnt down virtually all buildings in the village as
well as three pickup vans carrying woods to Damboa.
A member of the vigilante in Dalwa-Masuba, who spoke to journalists in
Maiduguri on phone, said no security personnel had reached the
attacked town at the time he was speaking. "We were on patrol
somewhere near Damboa when we heard about the attack from some of the
villagers who ran from the village", said the source. "We had to drive
to the town on our patrol van; we met the entire village on fire, and
about 40 persons dead, there were bodies all over the place; three
firewood pickups were also set ablaze."
The police and the military in Borno are yet to formally confirm the
attack, although security sources in Maiduguri, the state capital,
said they had been briefed of the attack.
Dalwa-Masuba is a farming community 40km away from Damboa Town and
about 80km south-west of Maiduguri.

You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but
I find this matter to be really something which
I think I would never understand. It seems too complicated and very broad for me.
I'm looking forward for your next post, I will try to
get the hang of it!
