Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>At least, seven people were killed and several others injured in two separate attacks in Damboa Local Government Area of Borno State on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

In the first incident, insurgents attacked farmers on their farmlands, killing five people and leaving others critically wounded. The attack occurred 15 kilometers from Damboa town along the Damboa-Maiduguri highway.<\/p>\n

A source within the Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF) told newsmen that troops recovered the bodies of the victims in the evening after survivors alerted security forces.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey were found in a pool of blood, having been brutally massacred with cutlasses and axes,\u201d the source said.<\/p>\n

In a separate attack, a military convoy struck a landmine near Sabon-Gari in Damboa LGA, killing two CJTF members and injuring several others. The convoy was on a mission to repair a bridge destroyed by insurgents, which had disrupted commercial activities and security operations along the Damboa-Biu highway in recent months.<\/p>\n

\u201cTwo CJTF members died instantly, while at least five others sustained serious injuries. They are currently receiving treatment at General Hospital, Damboa,\u201d an eyewitness reported.<\/p>\n

The victims are expected to be buried on Thursday morning in accordance with Islamic rites.<\/p>\n
