10 killed as gunmen open fire on Borno residents

Barely 24 hours after gunmen suspected to be
members of Boko Haram sect attacked a
boarder communities of Logomani villages
between Dikwa – Gamboru Ngala and
Cameroon Republic killing over 20 civilians
including motorists, another set of gunmen
suspected to be terrorists over the weekend
invaded villages of Kawuri District and Fori of
Konduga Local Government Area of Borno
state, killing 10 residents including three
vigilante youth suspected to be civilian JTF.
Kawuri District is one of the big village in
Konduga council area, along the Maiduguri-
Obama federal highway which is about 60
kilometres away from Maiduguri, and 20
kilometres to Obama council area which had
witnessed series of attacks and killings of both
civilians, soldiers, policemen and prison
warders.
A woman passenger who simply gave her
name as Madam Hauwa Musa told our
correspondent that she was among the early
passengers from Mubi town to Maiduguri a day
after the attack in Kawuri villages.
Although details of the attack is still sketchy,
and unconfirmed report has it that the gunmen
numbering about 30 using two Hilux vehicle
and motorcycles with arms and ammunition,
Rocket Propel Launchers including Improvised
Explosive Devices (IEDs), stormed the village at
about 3am at the weekend and started ordering
residents to come out from their houses before
they opened fire on them, and later threw
explosives on petrol bombs on some private
and public structures.

Speechless!!!
