Many persons were feared killed
Thursday night after Boko Haram sect launched a late evening attack on Rann,
the headquarters of Kala Balge local government area of Borno State, sources
said.
It was gathered that a village,
where hundreds of internally displaced persons (IDPs) and humanitarian workers
are camping, suddenly came under serious attack by armed Boko Haram gunmen.
A security personnel who asked
not to be named confirmed to Premium Times via telephone that the attack
started at about 7pm.
“We got the report that Rann was
being attacked at about 7pm and that many persons may have been affected but no
one can clearly say the number of dead casualty,” the source said.
“We have to wait till morning
before one could tell exactly what happened there,” he added.
More to come.
Do our leaders at all know the implications of the govt to protect lives and property? They are pushing the country to state of nature, because at a point innocent citizens might not take it but start carrying weapons for self defense and from there the worse takes place. There is no single day in this country you will not hear that many have been killed by BH or herdsmen or any other cult group. If this country is too big for one govt to control, why not create regional govt with regional heads and one head at the centre for better governance? Life is too precious to waste the way it is in this country.
