According to local sources, the attackers arrived in around 15 boats from Lake Chad Island and targeted regions where fisherman operate.
However, the Nigerian Army troops’ quick response, aided by local vigilantes and hunters, prevented the terrorists from infiltrating the neighborhood.
The combined forces forced the attackers to flee, leaving behind two boats and a corpse.
A vigilante member of the neighborhood, speaking anonymously, verified the occurrence on Thursday night.
“They came through the island towards Doron Baga, where our fishermen work, but the army acted quickly and pushed them back,” the vigilante told me.
Authorities have yet to make an official statement about the incident.
