On 4 July 2014, jihadist group Boko Haram attacked Damboa, Borno State, northeastern Nigeria.[1] The Nigerian Army said that they fought off the insurgents, but locals said that the Army abandoned its barracks there and left the town as a result.[1]
On 18 July 2014, Boko Haram again attacked Damboa.[2] The Army had left; the self-defence militia were quickly overpowered by Boko Haram, who took over the town - killing over 100 people and burning most of it.[2]
