Boko Haram insurgents, on
Wednesday, unleashed a fresh attack on Auno town community in Kada local
government area of Borno state.
Auno is less than 15km from
Maiduguri. A town situated along Kano–Maiduguri road, under konduga local
government area.
The insurgents invaded the
village with gun trucks and tricycles but security operatives succeeded in
repelling the militants.
The incident comes one week
after insurgents tried to invade Maiduguri, Borno capital, but were pushed back
by a combined team of air force, police and the army.
In the same vein, three
communities in Numan Local government area of Adamawa State, Bolki, Bang and
Gon have been attacked by armed bandits suspected to be herdsmen.
According to the Chairman
of Numan Local Government Area, Arnold Jibla, many houses were also razed down
in the attack while the number of casualties cannot be accounted for yet.
Local residents who spoke
from Bang, a border community between Adamawa and Taraba States, said the
entire village has been razed down.
The armed bandits were said
to have stormed the village in large numbers in the wee hours of Wednesday
unleashing mayhem on unsuspecting villagers.
