Boko Haram attacks and violence

A 2012 article in Vanguard News noted the death of Alhaji Lawan Kabu, former Chairman Damboa Local Government Area. It suggested that some of the perpetrators of violence in Borno State were using Boko Haram as an excuse for political violence.[5]

A 28 May 2014 report in the Premium Times quoted "a spokesperson of the local vigilante" as saying:

“Places like Talasla, Ajigin, Mangozam, Abima, Abulam, Keloruwa; all within Damboa Local Government Area have now been taken over by the Boko Haram gunmen”.[6]

A 25 June 2014 report of an attack on a military post at Bulabulin Ngaura was not confirmed by military sources.[7][8]

On 26 June 2014, Borno State Governor Kashim Shettima had "ordered an investigation into alleged abduction of 60 women by suspected insurgents in Damboa Local Government Area," in the villages of Kummabza, Yaga and Dagu.[9]

An 18 July 2014 indicated that Damboa had been attacked, with "at least 18 dead ... Eyewitnesses told the BBC that half of Damboa had been burnt down, including the town's main market."[10]

As of 19 October 2014, the town was under Boko Haram control; however, the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) had "issued an official statement ... saying that the ceasefire deal announced by government must be followed with the return of all territories captured by the insurgents."[11] On 21 October, 35 insurgents were killed in an attack by 195 Battalion of the 7 Division of the Nigerian Army .[12]
