Boko Haram terrorists have reportedly attacked a community near Chibok in Borno State.
The
insurgents were said to have raided the village on the night of Monday,
January 6, 2016, and stolen foodstuffs and
livestock while injuring
several villagers.
“We are having
telecommunications problems in Chibok and environs, there was an attack
on Monday night in Toshia village where the insurgents injured some
villagers, but there was no loss of life,” a local vigilante, Aliyu Ba'na told Sahara Reporters.
“The
village was burnt down, all livestock was carted away, and foodstuffs
were equally looted though the military has taken a proactive step by
protecting Chibok town. As a result, all routes linking to Chibok are
barricaded,” he added.
Chibok is the town from which over 200 girls were abducted in April 2014. Most of them remain in captivity.
Meanwhile, the Nigerian government insists that the war against Boko Haram has largely been won.
