attack on Gaidamgari, sources said that many houses, shops and vehicles

Boko Haram recruiting
However, members of the sect, who attacked Damboa on Friday for the
second time in two weeks, were reportedly looking for youths to recruit.
It was gathered that a large number of troops were yesterday deployed
to the surrounding villages and towns to confront the terrorists.
At Gaidamgari, a source said: “On refusal of the community to allow
their children, particularly young boys of between the ages of 15 to 20
to be recruited into the Boko Haram group, the terrorists mobilised and
launched attacks on the village, killing over 60 people.”
According to the sources, the attackers invaded the village in Toyota
Hilux vehicles with Improvised Ex-plosive Devices and wrecked havoc on
defencless civilians.
In another development, about five motorists,
including passengers, were at the weekend ambushed along Bama Maiduguri
road by some terrorists.
A source at the University of
Maiduguri Teaching Hospital told Vanguard that “five dead bodies were
brought into the hospital weekend, and preliminary investigations
revealed that they were victims of Boko Haram road ambush along
Maiduguri Bama road.
