Some members of the dreaded Boko Haram sect on
Friday attacked a Borno market, killing scores of
traders, a military source revealed
He claimed that the insurgents who were looking
for food to build their depleted stock invaded
Mainok market, about 56 kilometres from
Maiduguri on Friday afternoon, carting away
foodstuffs and money belonging to the traders
they killed.
A Maiduguri resident, John Ibe, who was
travelling along the Maiduguri-Damaturu road at
about 1.30pm, said the hoodlums invaded the busy
market around that time.
He said, “I boarded a luxury bus from Lagos and
when we got to Mainok at exactly 1.30pm, we
heard heavy gunshots from the western part of
the market and then sporadic gunshots. Hundreds
of traders and residents fled the market in
confusion, running to cross the highway to the
other side while vehicles passing through the town
were also making attempts to flee the town.
There was so much confusion.”
He said many fleeing traders were knocked down
on the road by motorists in the midst of the
confusion that ensued, adding to the death toll.
He claimed to have seen many fleeing residents
bleeding after being knocked down by the speeding
vehicles.
“Vehicles were hitting one another and the Boko
Haram members kept shooting,” he added.
A security personnel who also travelled on the road
yesterday disclosed that the attackers first fired
Rapid Propelled Grenade into the middle of the
market before they started firing gunshots.
“The death toll may be high because there were
many people in the market,” the personnel who
did not want to be named, said
