Suspected members of Boko Haram/ISWAP terrorists on Thursday evening invaded Kautikari village in Chibok Local Government Area of Borno State.
Sources and fleeing residents said the insurgents are
currently shooting sporadically and setting residential buildings ablaze as
people flee into the bush for safety.
Just last month, precisely on 30th March 2026, terrorists
invaded Kautikari, the Christian-dominated community, at about 6 pm and killed
the commanding officer of Hunters, Mallam Bumto, who had just arrived from
Lagos State a day before the incident.
The terrorists also killed Johanna Peter, whose wedding was
slated for Tuesday, 31st March 2026, in Kautikari Church alongside several
other residents.
The attack also led to the displacement of the community
with looting of foodstuffs and livestock. The people of the community only
resettled recently.
A security personnel, who hails from Kautikari and is based
in Maiduguri but is not authorised to talk to the press, confirmed the
incident.
“Yes, our Community of Kautikari is under Boko Haram attack.
I just received the distress call at about 6:50 pm this Thursday. We cannot
ascertain any casualty now as they are wreaking havoc and people are scrambling
for safety,” he said.
