Nigerian military reclaim seized Chibokcommunity

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
Confirming the recent development, a top
military officer who spoke anonymously said
“We have taken back Chibok town from the
insurgents after some few hours of
engagement with them. We have since sent
them parking from the town; it is now safe
for people to return to their homes”.
