ISWAP has released video of Saturday’s attack on Damasak in Borno.

NewsOne Nigeria reports that following Saturday’s attack on Damasak in Borno state, northern Nigeria, the Islamic State in West Africa Province (ISWAP), a splinter of Boko Haram, growing in power and influence, has released the full video to show what happened.

This online news platform understands that the attack on Damasak in Borno state in its wake, left the United Nations facilities burnt down, forcing humanitarian workers to run for their lives.

A source who is familiar with the development said: “The terrorists came into the town in gun trucks. They first embarked on a looting spree. They carted away aid supplies meant for the Internally Displaced Persons before they set fire to the UN hub in the town and three other buildings belonging to other aid organisations.”

Similarly, a military source who confirmed the attack on Damasak, said the troops were fighting hard to ensure that the terrorists did not overrun the town.

“They planned to attack the military base first, but we repelled the invasion. Pockets of them then went to the UN facility. The Nigerian Air Force aircraft have been called in and they are currently engaging in air interdictions on the terrorists.”
