Several Boko Haram Militants killed in Mafa

Several Islamist militants from the Boko Haram sect were
killed in overnight gun battles as they returned to attack Mafa
village in Borno according to eyewitnesses. The militants
reportedly returned to the village to attack villagers when they
met fierce resistance from the Nigerian army unit stationed in
the area. Some villagers said the sect members came out in their
hundreds to fight the army instead of retreating.
The fierce battle claimed the lives of several Boko Haram
militants with many of them injured according to Abba Umaru,
one of the villagers who escaped the latest invasion. The
eyewitnesses fled to Maiduguri some 45 kilometers from the
village shortly after the attack. There is no word from the
military about attack as at the time of publishing this report.
The Boko Haram Islamist sect has escalated its bloody
insurgency that led to the death of at least 150 people in the last
one week, 32 persons were killed on March 2nd in an earlier
attack on Mafa village by
the sect.
