Heavily armed gunmen believed to be Boko Haram members yesterday attacked Kuburvwa village in Borno state. The gunmen invaded the village (which is about 10 km from Chibok town) at 6.30pm shooting sporadically and making locals hide in the nearby bushes.
Information was made public by Abbas Gava, an official of the vigilante group of Nigeria in Borno state, who spoke to Premium Times journalists on phone from Maiduguri.
Giving the details of the situation Mr Gava said:
“As I am speaking to you now the gunmen are setting every house on fire after chasing the villagers away.
From the information we have received from our operatives in Chibok and Kautikari, the number of casualties cannot be ascertained for now because the Boko Haram insurgents are still in the village.”
Recall that the same village was under Boko Haram attack on August 21, when at least 11 people were killed and unknown number of women were raped.
