Boko Haram: 30 terrorists killed in Borno

Heavily armed terrorists invaded the Gubio Local Government Area of the state but the attack was repelled by members of vigilante group, Civilian Joint Task Force (Civilian JTF): According to reports, about 30 members of Boko Haram have been killed in Borno State after a failed attack on Thursday, November 27. Heavily armed terrorists invaded the Gubio Local Government Area of the state but the attack was repelled by members of vigilante group, Civilian Joint Task Force (Civilian JTF). Members of the CJTF were reportedly informed of an impending attack on Gubio by good Samaritans who sighted the Boko Haram members in nearby Kareto. The vigilante group, on receiving this information, mobilized its members and succeeded in defeating the terrorists. The spokesman for the Borno Elders Forum, Bulama Gubio confirmed the incident saying: “There was huge success as 30 members of Boko Haram, who attempted to overrun Kareto, Gubio and other surrounding communities were killed by our youths. The areas are now calm as normal activities have since returned.” Residents of Gubio were earlier said to have fled the community after they received a letter from Boko Haram warning them of a planned attack.
