Seven persons including a soldier, were killed in both Bam and
Gajigana villages of Biu and Magumeri Local Government Areas of Borno
State. Unspecified numbers of teenage girls were also abducted in Bam
Village, while scores of people were injured in Gajigana village after
insurgents set ablaze shops and houses without confrontation.
A resident of the area who fled to Miringa town for safety, Mallam
Ali Bam, told Vanguard on phone that the insurgents went to the village
at about 3:30 am at the weekend and set the whole village ablaze after
killing four persons and fled unchallenged with unspecified number of
unmarried teenage girls.
“The Boko Haram terrorists after separating a lot of teenage girls
from married women in Bam, set ablaze the whole village and fled with
the girls unchallenged, as the attack lasted for some hours before they
fled. I called on General Buratai to do something as we have been
telling the soldiers that the Boko Haram were so close to the village,
but they only went to Mangari village which is few kilometers away from
Buratai and shot into the air and left. The soldiers don’t want to
confront the terrorists, Buratai should better do something before they
start attacking and sacking villages, as they were doing before.”
Bam is about 7 kilometers away from Buratai village, the home town of
Chief of Army Staff Lieutenant General Tukur Yusuf Buratai.
Similarly, Boko Haram terrorists attacked and burnt down Gajiganna
village killing three persons including a soldier before carting away a
lot of foodstuff. Gajigana is north and about 50 kilometres drive from
Maiduguri.
A member of the Civilian JTF from the area, Mallam Aliyu Jibrin told
Vanguard that the insurgents who came at 8:30pm on Friday started
shooting sporadically into the air to scare people, where they killed
one man, one woman and a soldier before they carted away a lot of
foodstuff after setting ablaze all the shops in the village.
“I believe it was a revenge mission, because recently, we arrested
over 17 Boko Haram insurgents in the community and handed them over to
the military. I am calling on the Federal government and the military
authorities to do something about the pockets of insurgents in the
bushes and villagers before they regroup and start attacking big towns
and villages,” he stated.
He lamented that the attack on Gajigana could have been avoided if
soldiers acted on the information at hand, but when they came the
soldiers took to their heels without facing the insurgents.
