The outlawed Boko Haram sect on Friday night attacked Damboa town in troubled Borno state,  killing twelve soldiers, four policemen and four civilians, But   they  also lost   50 members.
It would be recalled that the sect had lost so many members in attack around Konduga and Damboa local government areas in the past few days  and had stormed Damboa town with a large army of about 200 intending to overrun the military.
Sources said they initially had an advantage destroying the police station and some other building and killing some police officers,  including the District Police Officer before the soldiers came to repel them off.
A source from the town said  that over 50 terrorists were killed in the confrontation with the military, insisting that 12 soldiers, 4 policemen and four civilians were lost in the attack which saw the Divisional Police Headquarters, market, shops, houses and vehicles destroyed.
He told journalists that: "About 200 heavy armed gunmen in  Toyota Hilux vehicles attacked Damboa Local Government Area of Borno State."
