According to Sahara Reporters, two members of a local vigilante group in the community said the insurgents rode into the town on bicycles since Kimba, which is in Biu local government area, is remote.
He said the attackers sneaked into the town at dusk and began their killing spree.
Mohammed Aliyu, a vigilante member said: “They killed 11 people and injured many more people and set the whole village ablaze.”
Another member of the vigilante group, Isa Biu said: “The attackers rode on bicycles to invade Kimba. They had guns and they just opened fire on villagers.”
However, speaking to AFP, Mustapha Karimbe, a civilian assisting the military in fighting Boko Haram, said the number of casulaties is at least 14.
Kimba is about to 22 miles from Biu town, the biggest town in the southern part of Borno state.
According to Daily Post the insurgents killed 13 people and abducted eight others, at about 8.30pm. It was said to be the sixth attack in the area recently.
Umar Sani, a resident who spoke to Daily Post on the phone said: “They burnt down our houses, killed our brothers and abducted our children. We are close to Sabon Gari and there are military there at Sabon Gari but they could not come to our rescue. Many people have been wounded. About 17 are currently being treated in Biu. We have lost 13 people and they took eight with them.”
Some people just like to make senseless comment.What concerns Buhari with how his official car's money was sourced?.If due process was not followed,it is GEJ's problem.
Christians in Israel are less than 2% of their population.They are mainly Jews and they hate Christians.Muslims are 2nd with a population of over 20%.Why is it so?
Having observed how other Discos have keyed in into the Change agenda of this new government in improving the level of power being supply to people.The case is not to be with Ibadan Disco who have been charging exorbitant rate without giving upto1hr power supply to people of Itele, in Ado Odo Ota LG ,Ogun State on a daily basis.
I want to appeal to FG to come to our aid and REVOKE the license of this Shylock company,who is all out to give this new government a bad name.
Truth234: Even BDC operators can use your BVN to register transaction for dubious politicians and that does not exclude banks
The reason why CBN is mandating BDC to present BVN of customers is to stop illegal activities of BDC in using fake documents obtained from travel agencies as returns for money sold to CBN..BVN is just like an identity card that dpes not have any relationship with your account balances or details.
NOBODYY: Biafrats..

trapQ: The people are telling us they are muslims. Who are we to say they're not? Those who say they aren't muslims are only trying to hide the evil of this devilish religion.
It is the promise of Satan that he will create bad impression about Islam so as to dissuade many people from seeing the beauty of Islam.Research into real world of islam and witness real peace.#Endtimethings.
TonyeBarcanista: Listen my friend, the money Amaechi is alleged to have looted belongs to Rivers people. It doesn't belong to Wike or Sekibo or the PDP alone. I am interested in the collective patrimony of Rivers state and not to shield the same people that have stolen us blind. If Buhari will not nominate anyone from Rivers aside Amaechi, it confirms our saying that APC does not exist in Rivers state!
With the way Governor Wike is trying to disqualify Amaechi by all means,I fear that if Amaechi is disqualified,River state may loose the position of Minister of Niger Delta to Bayelsa or other South-South states.I Governor Wike should follow the footsteps of Governor Fayose of Ekiti State.
vedaxcool: PDP was defeated in March, 2015, Bokohagram will be defeated on December, 2015, by God's grace, the two will be buried side by side. No matter how the skeptics wish evil upon Nigeria we shall rise above their vain desires.
The money will come back to the system(banks)when the salaries of civil servants,govt suppliers and contractors and states allocation are paid.Everything will come back in the long run.TSA is just for collection of govt revenues.

Nigerian politicians show less interest to be appointed as ministers.

All this is done without a minister, is all done by one man, one mind, one soul without the interference of others.
What will happen to Nigeria after ministers are appointed?
