stormed Damboa in different style and headed to various directions.

another group headed to military formations, andthe last group went
about attacking the civilian populace and burning houses.
"This is what happened it just caused confusion and they left with a
deadly impact. But we repelled them in our own end and the police did
same too.
"They came in convoy and successfully escaped; some were on bikes that
were banned and the rest in cars. This is what happened, but if not
the fact that we repelled them, the impact would have been far more
serious "
Another source in Maiduguri who sent an email said several people were
injured and many others missing, andthat search could only happen when
military reinforcement fully arrives in view of the fact that
residents are afraid to embark upon a search and rescue with the
militants lurking in the background.
