BOKO HARAM ATTACKS VILLAGES NEAR CHIBOK KILLING 20 PERSON

Suspected members of the Islamic militant sect,
Boko Haram, have attacked three communities in
Chibok Local Government Area in Borno State,
killing no fewer than 10 persons.
According to the president, Kibaku Youth
Association of Nigeria, Mr. Moses Zakwa, three
communities were attacked by the insurgents.
“The communities that were attacked are Kwada,
Kautikari and Guradina, all in Chibok LGA. As at
now, over 20 persons have been confirmed dead,
10 of which I know personally. My cousin and one
of my uncles were among those killed. He had
three wives and over 20 children and he was
killed in cold blood. The attack started around
8am in the morning and it lasted for over four
hours,” he told The PUNCH .
Zakwa further said, “The gunmen also opened fire
on worshippers in a church service. People have
not been sleeping at home. Some have run into
the nearby bush to hide because their lives are at
risk.”
Another Chibok indigene, Manasseh Allen, also
confirmed the attack in a telephone chat with our
correspondent. “We need divine help,” he said,
adding that Kautikari is the second largest town in
Chibok LGA.
When contacted on the telephone, a member of
the Borno State House of Assembly, representing
Chibok constituency, Mr. Aimu Foni, said, “It’s
obvious this was a Boko Haram attack because
three days ago, they threatened to attack,” he
said.
