Just in: Boko Haram terrorists kill 11, abduct one person in violent attack in Chibok, Borno State
No fewer than 11 people were confirmed killed, and a yet-to-be-identified lady was kidnapped by Boko Haram terrorists who disguised themselves in military camouflage in Gatamarwa and Tsiha near Shikarkir communities in the Chibok local government area of Borno State.
The extremist insurgents also fled with foodstuffs and livestock without resistance on Tuesday, sending residents fleeing for their lives.
The attack is coming barely two weeks after terrorists stormed Chibok in the same manner, killing two people and pillaging homes before setting them on fire.
A community member, Mallam Wakil Aliyu, who spoke with Vanguard Newspaper, said the attackers were “heavily armed with AK47 rifles and a mix of vehicles and motorcycles, who first opened fire on some people who were returning from mourning in Gatamarwa, before later attacking another Tsiha community near Shikarkir and killing three people with the abduction of a young lady.”
Another community member told the news outlet, “They came in large numbers, with sophisticated weapons, burning houses, and carting away foodstuffs.
‘I cannot tell you the exact number of people they have killed, but I can confirm to you that many people were reportedly killed.”
The Police command in the state has not commented on the attack as of the time of this report.
