Eleven 11 persons have been murdered by armed Boko Haram terrorists who disguised in military uniforms and attacked Gatamarwa and Tsiha near Shikarkir communities in Chibok local government area of Borno state
Nigeriacrime.com learned that the terrorist who also abducted a lady (name withheld) carted away foodstuff and livestock without confrontation.
Reliable sources and fleeing residents on Tuesday said these fresh attacks came barely two weeks when some insurgents similarly attacked Chibok leaving two persons dead and looting houses before setting them ablaze.
Likewise, some 33KVA lines/towers which connect Yobe and Borno states from the national grid were bombed down in between the Auno- Maiduguri and Gujba axis during the peak of the Yelutide by suspected terrorists.
The terrorists stormed the community of Gatamarwa at approximately 5 pm on Monday during the 1st January New Year 2024 celebration.
A community member, Mallam Wakil Aliyu, described the attackers as “heavily armed with AK47 rifles mix of vehicles and motorcycles, who first opened fire on some people who were returning from mourning in Gatamarwa, before later attacked another Tsiha community near Shikarkir and killed three people with the abduction of a young lady.”
Another Community Source said, “They came in large numbers, with sophisticated weapons, burning houses and carting away with foodstuffs.
‘I cannot tell you the exact number of people they have killed, but I can confirm to you that many people were reportedly killed”
All efforts to get confirmation from the Police Public Relations Officer, Borno Command, ASP Nahum Daso Kenneth proved abortive at press time.
