Woo Great news: Over 200 Boko Haram terrorists killed by local Borno State villagers in fightback

ORDINARY Nigerians have started the process of
taking on terrorist sect Boko Haram with
residents of Rann town in Borno State attacking
the insurgents and killing 200 of them in an angry
reaction to their reign of terror.
Up until now, Boko Haram had cowed the local
population in Borno State and residents of
northeastern Nigeria, freely using the area as its
base. Local people had turned a blind eye to the
sect's reign of terror and been indifferent to it
running training camps in the area but following
the abduction of the Government Girls Secondary
School Chibok schoolgirls, the mood has changed.
Exasperated with the endless terror unleashed
upon then, local people have finally had enough
and decided to take direct action to rid
themselves of the menace. Early this morning,
armed with just traditional fighting equipment and
charms, the residents of Rann, the headquarters
of Kala-Balge Local Government Area in the north
eastern part of Borno State, repelled a Boko
Haram attack and killed 200 of them.
Apparently, about 300 insurgents stormed Rann
and adjoining villages around 4am today but met
resistance from the people who had knowledge of
the impending attack. This is the second attempt
by Boko Haram to attack Rann after trying it
about month ago but were equally repelled then.
This time around, Boko Haram is believed to have
succeeded in entering Rann where they killed
some people and burnt some houses. However,
the counter offensive was ferocious as locals
were determined not to allow their town become
a terrorist haven.
One local source said: "The people in Rann and
its environs used traditional fighting equipment
and charms to repel the attacks. They really
confronted the attackers who were equally ready
for fight.
“The villagers succeeded in protecting their
dwellings from the attackers, killing about 200
members of the sect and many others escaped
with serious wounds. Our people also recovered
over 70 motorcycles that the attackers came with
and collected two Hilux vehicles and an Armoured
Personnel Carrier, while some of the attackers
were captured alive.”
A state legislator from Central Borno State,
confirmed the attack, pointing out that the locals
had successfully repelled Boko Haram. At the
Gamboru Motor Park along the Customs area in
Maiduguri, some people that came from the area,
also confirmed that the insurgents were defeated
in Rann during the battle that lasted for several
hours.
Kala-Balge lies along the shores of the Lake Chad
and is few kilometres away from Gamboru town
where suspected insurgents killed nearly 400
people last week. In that attack, Boko Haram
destroyed over 300 vehicles, 650 motorcycles,
dozens of residential houses, public buildings and
the biggest market in the town.
