At Least 55 Killed In Boko Haram Raids On Two Nigerian Villages by Ochinex(m): 3:49pm On May 15, 2015
At least 55 people were killed in two Boko Haram raids
this week near Maiduguri, capital of restive northeastern
Nigeria Borno state, a vigilante and two residents said on
Friday.
“Boko Haram fighters raided Bale and Kayamla villages
where they killed at least 55 people and burnt several
homes after looting them before proceeding to the
outskirts of Maiduguri where they were crushed by
troops,” a vigilante official, Abacha Zinnari, said.
“They killed 30 people in Kayamla and another 25 in Bale,”
he said.
A resident of Bale, Husseini Ari, said the village on
Thursday buried 25 people killed in the previous day’s raid
while several others who were injured were taken to
hospital.
“The village is mourning the death of 25 people killed in
the Boko Haram attack who were buried yesterday,” Ari
said.
A group of heavily armed Boko Haram fighters late
Wednesday launched an offensive on Maiduguri city which
was repelled by troops from a military base on the
outskirts of the city, according to the military and
residents.
The insurgents had raided the villages before the foiled
assault on the city but the story was slow to emerge
following a round-the-clock curfew imposed on the city by
the military on Thursday which restricted movement.
“The gunmen burnt around 50 houses and looted food
stores and livestock,” said Ari, adding that the insurgents
targeted homes they identified as belonging to vigilantes in
the village
Musa Kumbo, a resident of Kayamla, said at least 30
people were killed in the Boko Haram raid on the village
and surrounding settlements.
“The attackers were heard shouting they would come back
and finish their operation once they were done with
Maiduguri,” Kumbo said.
At least three soldiers, six vigilantes and dozens of Boko
Haram insurgents were killed during clashes in Maiduguri
on Wednesday evening, sources have said.
The assault was the first on Maiduguri for three months
and came after sweeping offensives against Boko Haram
strongholds by a regional military coalition of Nigeria, Niger,
Chad and Cameroon.
