Suspected Boko Haram insurgents have once again unleashed terror, setting ablaze at least 25 newly constructed buildings intended for the resettlement of displaced individuals in Dikwa Local Government Area of Borno State.
In a distressing turn of events, panic grips the region as Boko Haram militants infiltrate a camp, capturing hundreds of girls, sending shockwaves through the already traumatized community.
Amid the relentless onslaught of insurgency, residents of Dikwa sought refuge as Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), fleeing their homes in search of safety.
Tragically, the nightmare persists as insurgents, having abducted IDPs venturing into the forest for firewood, descended upon a remote village in Gajibo. With reckless abandon, they unleashed a barrage of gunfire and reduced over 25 newly erected homes to ashes.
According to an eyewitness, Modu Kundiri who was on his way to Maiduguri from Gomboru, said they were asked by the troops to wait for about 3 hours at Logomani village.
“The soldiers informed us that we had to wait for about 3 hours from 11:am -2 pm before we were allowed to leave Logomani.
“I saw and counted more than 25 newly constructed houses at Gajibo village in Dkiwa LGA was on fire,” Modu said.
