Boko Haram kills 21 in Damboa attack
Members of the deadliest sect on Friday attacked Damboa, Borno State, and killed 21 people.
The town was attacked over two weeks ago
with many people, including members of the violent group, military and
security personnel killed.
The attack has since left the town and about 50 other communities in the troubled state susceptible to terrorist attacks.
Attempts by the military to return to
the town about a week ago were rebuffed by the insurgents who laid
ambush to the town. This left the soldiers who were lucky to escape
being killed to return to Maiduguri, the state capital.
But the insurgents again hit Damboa on Friday and killed many residents.

#ChibokGirls...Its unfair to blame the Presidency-Reuben Abati
Dr. Reuben Abati
Following the abduction of the over 200 Chibok School girls kidnapped by Boko Haram in Borno state on April 14, President Jonathan has been under criticism for his inability to rescue the girls.
The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati, however, defended President Jonathan as he said its unfair that critics are blaming President Jonathan as being the cause of the abduction of the Chibok girls.
Abati argued that those criticising the President were ignorant of what the Federal Government was doing to rescue the girls.
Abati made his position known in an opinion titled: “Nigeria’s offensive against Boko Haram Charges of a ‘do-nothing’ strategy are misconceived” published by Washington Times.
Abati however admitted that the concern that had been expressed over the abduction of the girls was legitimate and understandable.
