The Borno youth vigilantes popularly
known as civilian JTF Tuesday dispelled the rumor that the Boko Haram
insurgents have taken over the control of Bama town.
They said
instead it was the group that suffered a massive casualty in the attack,
losing 130 persons with 35 others arrested and in custody.
At a
press briefing in Maiduguri, spokesman of the JTF who is also the legal,
Barrister Jibrin Gunda, said: "we categorically refute the statement
credited to Senator Ahmed Zanna, the senator representing Borno central
on BBC Hausa service that the Boko Haram have capture Bama.
“News
has filtered most especially on foreign media to which we want to
clearly state that our security personnel are doing their best and
yesterday our gallant soldiers successfully repelled the insurgents who
attacked Bama and Bama as a town in Borno State has never been overrun
or overtaken by the insurgents even for a minute, even as of now our
soldiers are in full control of the town”.
