Reports that reaches us on friday 17th, October was that the Nigerian government had reached an agreement with insurgent group, Boko Haram and had agreed to a cease-fire. Barely 24 hours after this announcement was made, the insurgents have in their usual way attacked two small communities in Borno State.
20 Boko Haram fighters in two pick-up vans stormed Maikadiri in Abadam Local Government Area, on Friday evening, shooting into homes.
A member of the local vigilance group, Adam Kolo, said the sect had shown that there was no ceasefire with the latest attack.He stated that the insurgents killed the father of the former Speaker of Borno State House of Assembly, Goni Ali-Modu.
Another indigene of the attacked communities, Masta Ibrahim, said in Maiduguri that,
“My parents are there and my brother called from Monguno to inform me early this morning but we couldn’t get across to our aged parents.”
Also in a renewed attack on Shaffa, Hawul Local Government Area, south of Borno on Saturday morning, scores of Boko Haram insurgents rode to a village near the town in the early hours of the day, shooting indiscriminately.Eight people were killed, according to a resident, Elijah Msheliza.
