The rise of the civilians against
terror took the Boko Haram saga to a new turn in the early hours of Tuesday
morning when citizens of Rann, headquarters of Kala-Balge local government
area, Borno northeast, who had fore-knowledge of an impending Boko Haram
attack, decided not to remain sitting ducks but prepared for battle.
According to reports we received from Civilian sources in
Borno, over 400 Boko Haram terrorists stormed Rann and neighboring villages in
the early hours of Tuesday, with their usual convoy of hilux trucks,
motorcycles and APC (Armored Personnel Carriers) only to meet villagers ready
for them this time. The civilian villagers pounced on the terrorists with mere
rocks, bows and arrows, local Dane guns, swords and “charms,” but as we have
earlier reported, Boko Haram are more frightened of Civilian-JTF than they are
of the Nigerian army, and run from the civilians even if they - the civilians only
have knives….
