Boko Haram kills five in Borno village

Terror sect, Boko Haram, killed five persons on Saturday in Kayamla in Konduga Local Government Area of Borno State.



Though, the insurgents were pushed back by the youth vigilance group in the area, but this was after they had destroyed parts of the village and killed five persons.

A member of the youth vigilance group in the area, Abbagana Modu, told our correspondent on the telephone that the insurgents caught everyone unaware.

He said, “They came stealthily into the village and shot sporadically into the air, torched some houses and killed five persons.”

He said when the youths regrouped to take them on, they fled back into the bushes.

Modu recalled that though it had been longed since the area was attacked, the insurgents had in the past laid siege to Kayamla.

This would be the first notable attack on Borno after last week Saturday’s presidential election.
