29 Killed, Others Injured In New Boko Haram Attack by Samirana360(m): 9:42pm On Jul 28, 2015
At least 29 people were reportedly killed with many
others sustained gunshot wounds when suspected
members of dreaded Boko Haram sect attacked Dille
community and other surrounding villages of Askira
Uba Local Government Area of Borno state.
The incident took place at about 1pm on Monday when the terrorists in large number armed with AK47 rifles
and petrol bombs stormed Dille, a predominantly
christian community that had witnessed series of
deadly attacks in recent times.
Precisely on July 14th, 2014, suspected Boko Haram
insurgents invaded the same village where they killed 14 residents, after which, they burnt down three
churches including Church of Brethren in Nigeria (EYN)
which has the highest number of worshippers in the
area.
Also last week, another group of insurgents laid siege
on Kopa Mai Kadir and Yazza villages of Askira Uba and killed 15 people before sacking the whole
communities.
Residents who were lucky to escape from the attacks
told our Correspondent that the insurgents invaded
Dille with sophisticated weapons in a convoy of 5
Hilux vehicles and motorcycles where they wrecked havoc without confrontation as they shot at anybody
on sight.
Mallam Paul Ali Dille, a resident who escaped the
attack, said, the death toll would have been higher,
but many residents who quickly noticed the invasion
had to run out of Dille to nearby bushes for their safety as there were no security presence in the affected
communities. Reacting to the incident, a Member House of
Representatives in Hawul and Askira Uba Federal
Constituency of Borno state, Hon. Jubrin Satumari who
hail from Dille Village said, the rate at which boko
haram insurgents were terrorising his communities is
worrisome, and therefore called on the new service chiefs, especially the Chief of Army Staff, Major
General Tukur Buratai to step up action towards
protecting lives and property of innocent citizens in
the affected communities.
Satumari stated this to Journalists while confirming
the killing of 29 people by insurgents in Dille yesterday. He described the recent attacks as callous,
barbaric and unjustifiable and however called on
security agencies in the State to step up surveillance
and the people to remain very vigilant about
happenings in their areas and report any suspicious
persons or movements to the nearest security point or jurisdiction.
“I am much worried over the spate of killings by
suspected insurgents in my constituency. I have
pleaded to security authorities, particularly military to
deploy troops to most of the affected villages to
safeguard my people’s lives and property, but all my cries failed on deaf ears as there are no security
presence in my constituency yet, but I still want to
assure my people that we are doing everything
possible to see that military troops are deployed
immediately”. The Lawmaker said.
Satumari who noted that the military authorities and other security outfits would do everything necessary
to prevent the unwarranted attacks by Boko Haram
from escalating, however, hailed efforts so far by
President Muhammadu Buhari to ensure that
Nigerians were safe and secured in all parts of the
country, especially in the North-East geo-political zone where the Military Command and Control Centre is
now located.
Satumari said: “It was really a sad day for me to
learn that there were renewed attacks in my
constituency, some parts of Borno state and the north
east in general by the barbaric acts of the insurgents. People are being killed in cold blood, churches,
mosques, shops and residential houses were
destroyed, it is very unfortunate. I pray God to grant
eternal rest for the souls of those killed by insurgents
and quick recovery for the injured ones”.
He however said, Boko Haram is not invincible and he have no doubt that the present administration led by
President Muhammadu Buhari possesses the requisite
political will and determination to decisively fight the
insurgents and restore security to affected areas.

The terrains in the states in the north east are too remote and complicated for our military to secure.

The best approach will be to find and block their source of getting arms and funding. Generally their source of strength has to be thwarted.
