Over 20 Houses Destroyed As Boko Haram Attack Borno Villages

Boko Haram terrorists have attacked Konduga town, a town located along the Bama-Maiduguri road in Borno state.

The incident, which lasted for about two hours, was said to have occurred around 9pm yesterday.

About 20 houses were destroyed in the attacks which affected the villages in Konduga, such as; Wanori, Kaleri and Amarwa villages.

Mala, a witness in Wanori, told newsmen that the insurgents stormed the villages with heavy arms and ammunition. He said apart from burning down houses, the insurgents took away foodstuff from the residents.

Mala said the number of people killed remain unknown, as many of the villagers escaped into the bush for statement.

The insurgents escaped when they saw a fighter jet, he added.

Goni Abacha, a resident in Amarwa, said the insurgents also burned down some parts of his village.

“Many people were killed during the attack but I cannot confirm [how many people],” Abacha said.

Confirming the attack, Bello Dabbata, head of emergency response, Borno State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA), told TheCable that his team has been deployed the area to get details of the incident.
