Boko Haram Destroys 60 houses near Chibok

Boko Haram insurgents have attacked a community near Chibok town, injuring scores and destroying over 60 houses.

 Some residents of Takulashi community who fled to Chibok, some 15 kilometres from where insurgents kidnapped over 200 schoolgirls on April 14, 2014, said they fired into houses at about 11am on Sunday though the news of the attack only filtered into Maiduguri, the state capital yesterday evening due to the remoteness of the area.

 “They were not many, but were very armed, shooting and threatening to kill everybody, but we had fled before they came. They set fire on our houses, even throwing bombs into houses. They burnt down more than 60 houses,” a resident, Bitrus Ali, told newsmen on phone.
