Boko Haram fighters attack village near Chibok, residents flee

The gunmen invaded the village (that is about
10 km from Chibok town) at 6.30pm
shooting sporadically and making locals hide
in the nearby bushes.
Information was made public by Abbas Gava,
an official of the vigilante group of Nigeria in
Borno state, who spoke to Premium Times
journalists on phone from Maiduguri.

Giving the details of the situation Mr Gava
said: “As I am speaking to you now the gunmen
are setting every house on fire after chasing the
villagers away.
From the information we have received from our
operatives in Chibok and Kautikari, the number
of casualties cannot be ascertained for now
because the Boko Haram insurgents are still in
the village.”

Recall that the same village was under Boko
Haram attack on August 21, when at least 11
people were killed and unknown number of
women were raped.
