Boko Haram fighters have reportedly killed at least nine
people in an attack on Gaidam LGA in Yobe state.
The attack comes after the insurgents, in their numbers,
attacked kornari village in Ngala LGA of Borno state on gun trucks and
motorcycles.
The Yobe LGA was reportedly invaded around 9:30pm on
Wednesday.
The insurgents were said to have attacked local pubs in the
area, shooting sporadically and killing the victims who were said to be
vendors.
“While the troops of
Operation Hadin Kai came through Garin Banza to repel the insurgents’ invasion,
the Boko Haram members hid their motorcycles, then razed a government technical
school to divert the attention of the troops,” a source said.
“They first ordered the victims to lay down, then
slaughtered some of them while they tied others with their hands behind their
backs and shot them on the heads. Other heads were cut off and placed on their
chest.”
Despite the spate of attacks, the federal government says it
is winning the war against terrorism.
The government cites the mass surrender of insurgents, amid
military clearance operations in the north, as part of its success against
insurgency in the country.
