A horde of armed Boko Haram
terrorists today descended on
Kalabalge, a community in Borno
State whose vigilantes had recently
repelled an attack by members of the
extremist Islamist sect—and left a
horrific scene, with at least 40 dead
people and widespread destruction.
A security agent and a community
source told SaharaReporters that
more than 500 Boko Haram fighters
arrived in the town in numerous pick-
up vans and were able to overwhelm
local hunters and vigilante members
within the community.
Today’s attack by Boko Haram
originated in Gamboru Ngala, a
border town between Nigeria and
Cameroon, and lasted for several
hours. Our security agent source
disclosed that the religious militants
also attacked Ankulkule, Chekobe,
Izge and five other communities. The
source told SaharaReporters that
some of the villages were completely
burnt, adding that most of those who
survived the horrendous attacks had
fled to Cameroon to seek refuge.
About a week ago, a group of local
hunters and youth in Kalabalge had
ambushed a contingent of Boko
Haram terrorists who arrived in the
village to wreak havoc. The vigilante
group killed scores of the militants,
arrested a few, and send others
scurrying into the bush to escape.
A member of the village told
SaharaReporters that, having resisted
and repelled Boko Haram, members
of the community expected the
Islamist group to launch a vengeful
attack. “Our vigilantes were ready,
waiting for them, day and night,” the
source said. “We knew that soldiers
cannot protect us, so our fighters
were ready. But they came in such
large number that we could not
withstand them today.”
