A gang of gunmen believed to be members of the Boko Haram on Monday morning, at about 3 a.m. attacked Kwarangilam Village of Chibok Local Government Area, but had their mission aborted as members of the Vigilante Group laid ambush for them.
The gunmen who were taken unawares by the poorly armed vigilante members were confused by the turnout of event as the vigilante operatives picked on them one after the other until the terrorists lost eight of their gunmen, an official said. Kwarangilam is a quiet agrarian village located about 15km from Chibok town.
The spokesperson of the Nigeria Vigilante Group, Muhammed Gava, told Our correspondent that one of the insurgents was also arrested alive. “We have arrested one of them alive and have handed him over to the military personnel in Chibok town”, said Mr. Gava.
