Boko Haram Beheads 11 Loggers in Brutal Ambush in Borno State

In a horrifying incident on Monday near Bale village in Damboa LGA, suspected Boko Haram members riding camels ambushed and beheaded 11 local wood loggers.
 
The victims, who were working at their charcoal site, faced a merciless attack, with six bodies found dismembered at the scene around 5 pm.

This incident underscores the ongoing threat posed by Boko Haram in the region, prompting increased security measures and efforts to safeguard vulnerable communities.
