Boko Haram Raids Yobe Towns, Steals Foodstuffs by Slingkey(m): 4:49pm On May 31, 2015
The Chairman of Fika Local Government Area
of Yobe State, Alhaji Baba Abare, on Sunday
told journalists that the Boko Haram sect
attacked two Yobe towns, Fika and Ngalda,
on Saturday.






Abare said the militants shot sporadically at
the two towns to scare away people so as
to have ample opportunity to loot.





He explained that the major targets of the
militants were shops in which they looted
several food items as well as beverages,
saying, however, that no life was loss during
the attack.







Fika is about 150 kilometres west of
Damaturu, the Yobe State capital, and shares
boundary with Gombe State to the south.






A resident of the area, Ibrahim Mohammed,
who spoke on the telephone, said the
terrorists first launched an attack on Ngalda,
which is the Yobe/Gombe border town.









He said they proceeded from Ngalda to Fika
town, the headquarters of Fika Local
Government Area of Yobe State.
Mohammed said during the assault on Fika,
the terrorists burnt down the local
government secretariat, the magistrate
court and the Divisional Police station.







A policeman, who spoke on the condition of
anonymity to our correspondent, said the
attackers invaded the two towns between
7.30 and 9am, looting several shops and
cart away with several food items.
He added that the militants stormed the
areas in two Toyota Hilux vans and took
away several motorcycles, which they stole
in the area.








The Yobe State Police Commissioner, Mr.
Markus Danladi, declined to comment on the
attack, saying the Military Joint Task Force
was the only body that was authorised to
speak on such matter.












Fika and Ngalda communities have suffered
several cases of Boko Haram attacks since
the commencement of the sect’s violence
campaign as the communities also share
boundaries with Gujba and Gulani LGAs,
which under the captivity of the militant
group for so long before it was liberated
few months back by federal troops.
