Five Soldiers, 58 Civilians Killed In Fresh Borno Attack
At least 63 people including five soldiers and 58 civilians — were killed when suspected Boko Haram terrorists attacked Daral-Jamal community along the Bama-Banki road, Sambisa Forest, on Friday night.
The insurgents torched over 20 houses, vehicles, and foodstuffs belonging to recently resettled IDPs.
Governor Babagana Umara Zulum visited the community on Saturday to condole with bereaved families and urged urgent deployment of trained Forest Guards to support the military.
Residents said dozens of fighters stormed the town on motorbikes, shooting indiscriminately and setting homes ablaze. The Air Force later claimed it neutralised about 30 terrorists during the gunfight.
The attack has renewed concerns over the government’s push to close IDP camps and resettle displaced persons in vulnerable rural areas.
