Boko Haram Kills 7 Villagers, Abduct More Girls In Borno by Felaak47(m): 6:42am On Nov 30, 2015 |
At least seven persons were left dead in
Bam village of Borno state when armed
Boko Haram terrorists attacked in the early
hours of Sunday and abducted unspecified,
but large number of teenage girls, witnesses
said.
Bam village, located in Biu local government
area of Borno state is about 170km south of
Maiduguri, the state capital.
Residents of the attacked village said the
gunmen crept upon them at about 3.30am,
while they were still fast asleep. Houses
were set ablaze while many, including
women and children were injured.
Mallam Ali, resident of Bam, said he and
many other lucky villagers managed to flee
into the neighboring Miringa town from
where he spoke to journalists on phone.
“The Boko Haram terrorists came at about
3.30 in the morning. They gun shots are
chanting of ‘Allahu akbar woke us up. They
asked those that could not escape to gather
in the center of the villager, and then they
separated many of the teenage girls from
married women. They set almost the whole
town ablaze before leaving with the girls.
“We want the Chief of Army Staff, General
Tukur Buaratai, to do something fast
because we have been telling the soldiers
that the Boko Haram are in some of the
villages not far away but the soldiers only
went to Mangari village which is some few
kilometers away from Buratai befoere they
turned back,” Ali said.
The terrorists, had in a separate attack on
Friday attacked Gajiganna village in
Magumeri local government area of Borno
where they reportedly killed three persons
including a soldier.
Jibrin Aliyu, an operative of the Civilian-JTF
had informed journalists in Maiduguri that
“the attacked took place in Gajkigana at
about 8pm: they killed a man, a woman and
a soldier before leaving with looted food
stuffs after setting most of the town on fire.
Jibrin said the attack on Gajigana was some
revenge mission.
“I believe it was a revenge mission, because
it was just recently that we arrested over 17
Boko Haram insurgents and handed them
over to the military. We even told them that
we should go after the others because we
had vital information that the terrorists have
been camping in Kemon and other nearby
villages.
When contacted for comments, the state’s
Police Public Relations Officer, Victor Isuku,
said he had not gotten any signal from the
District Police Officer (DPO) in charge of Biu
local government even though he promised
to get back to our reporter as soon as he
confirmed the development. source http://leadership.ng/news/479102/boko-haram-kills-7-villagers- abduct-girls-borno |
