Many residents are feared killed in a fresh attack by the Islamic sect, Boko Haram, at Bara town of Gulani local government area of Yobe State.

The town is about 109km from Damaturu, the state capital.

The incident, which occurred on Wednesday night, according to residents, was the fiercest attack in recent time.


Speaking to newsmen on Thursday in Damaturu, residents said the militants burnt down houses, shops, foodstuffs, among other valuables using Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs).

“They stormed the town chanting ‘Allahu Akbar’ as locals took to their heels into the bushes for safety”, a resident Mallam Sule Yaji told newsmen in Damaturu.

He disclosed that the insurgents, who arrived the town in large number burnt several houses during the coordinated attack.

He said that some of the residents caught up in the houses set ablaze were receiving treatment at Bajoga Hospital in neighbouring Gombe State.


A top police officer, who confirmed the attack, said that the Yobe State Commissioner of Police, Zannah Ibrahim, had since rushed to the scene of the attack to assess the extent of havoc caused in the town.

Casualty figure, according to him, was not yet known.

The town currently lacks basic amenities and telecom services, which have been vandalised by the militants.

#SAI BABA#

WE ARE WINNING THE WAR

we are winning the war

Buhari should put and end to these structured killings, else he should resign.

I urge all Christians living in those area that is prone to attack to do the needful by leaving those area just as my cousin has done.
As long as there is life, there is hope!!!

R.I.P to the dead.
Quick recovery to the wounded.

A 1000 deaths to these idiots

Not again
This Allah they're killing for isn't tired of blood or he doesn't talk back
Smh for religion upbringing

Lawd have mercy.

The Boko Haram sect is a collection of misguided unbelievers who claim to be muslims. Killing of innocent human beings without any justified reason is forbidden in any religion.
Illiteracy in conjuction with brainwashing some individuals has escalated in making them kill innocent individuals.
Killing of innocent people shouting "Allahu Akbar (God is the greatest) " isnt just sensible to me and other right thinking individuals. They don't know what they are fighting for.
We all have a war at hand cause the situation. This is a war both Muslims, Christians, and Atheist need to take seriously. Them being is the North today means they are closer to us than we think.
Notify the necessary authorities if you feel/think anyone has the link with Boko Haram sect or is behaving suspicious.
The government alone can't fight terrorism. These individuals are someone's neighbour and family members.
The government also need to create opportunity for quality affordable education and job creation for her citizen.
May God help us win the war against these evil demons, protect us from all evil and forgive the soul of the departed.

We are very busy with Ameachi...

Hmm

We are on top of it... Buhari

Buhari is in India, osinbajo does not know anything in aso villa.
Buhari instead of taking over ministry of defence prefered the ministry of petroleum.
Instead of putting in more money to stop boko haram, we are busy investing on IDPs while many more victims join in the camp.
9ja which way........?

When boko haram was displaying weaponry and exposing their bomb factory in previous thread the security ought not to take it as a joke. This boko haram are devils and they are not bonafide citizens of this country

So sad

But the army keeps saying they are winning the battle! Confused by that statement! Or the army is trying to tell us boko are winning the battle


December is near!

This is sad!

Payback time, I like it.

for the 1st time i have to admit it dat gmb seems to b loosing d war on boko haram.dis has got to stop.i tink he should get ride of d service chiefs der are more busy talking dan acting

This government has failed in the fight against Boko haram! The earlier they admit it the better. This is no longer the issue of politics or party affiliation. The Nigerian army cannot i repeat cannot defeat boko haram on its own. The present government should drop their misguided arrogance that it is only the Nigerian Army that will defeat boko haram. It is quite clear they can't! The problem we have in this country is that we play politics with everything; the previous regime solicited the services of some South African mercenaries when they discovered that the Nigerian Army lacks the capacity to defeat boko haram and the result was a drastic reduction in the activities of Boko haram. The APC government came in and in order to tap into the change mood sweeping across Nigeria, sent the South African mercenaries away without taking time to evaluate their impact in the fight. Now we are now worse than we were before. The government has failed in its primary duty of protecting the lives and properties of Nigerians and in saner climes; this is enough for a government to step down.

Coward boko boys killing armless citizens

DEm no dey tire
