town Borno state, killing more than 100 people and
hoisting their black and white flags over the town.
This new information was confirmed by a civil defense
spokesman and a human rights advocate, Abbas Gava and
he revealed the town is located just 85 kilometers (53 miles)
from Maiduguri.
Mr. Gava also said that in another town named Askira Uba
and nine other towns, citizens are fleeing after they got
letters of an imminent attack by the terrorist group.
Survivors revealed that the terrorist came into the town with
fired rocket-propelled grenades and lobbed homemade
bombs into homes, and then gunned them down as they
tried to run for their dear lives.
The lucky survivors narrated that almost all of the town is
now ashes and they are just trying to bury the dead.
The town had been bombarded by Boko Haram for the past
two weeks after they dislodged soldiers from a new tank
battalion camp on its outskirts.
The Defence HQ had earlier reported that they came out
victorious with minimal loss but residents denied the claimed
that it was a lie and that the soldiers had run away and left
their base.
The residents said that twice now, the boko haram boys
had ambushed military convoys trying to get back the base
and had cut off the town from the south on Monday when
they blew up a bridge further south.
