NO fewer than 81 people were killed in Tuesday’s Boko Haram attack on Borno State communities, Governor Babagana Zulum was told on Wednesday.
The governor who was on a condolence visit, also heard that the village head of Faduma Kolomaiya and six others were abducted by the marauding insurgents. Thirteen people were injured while 400 cattle were rustled.
President Muhamadu Buhari immediately ordered troops top go after the criminals of the “barbaric attacks.”Zulum evacuated five injured persons in the village for treatment and urged the military to undertake a massive onslaught against the terrorists in the shore of Lake Chad. “Thereafter, they asked us to submit whatever arm we had. Some villagers gave up their dane guns, bows and arrows. The insurgents pretended as if they were on religious mission but suddenly started shooting at will.
Police Spokesman Gambo Isah, said: “The bandits began shooting the residents, killing 14 people on the spot. They also injured 26 others who were taken to the hospital for medical treatment.
