IN another daring operation, members of
the terrorist Islamic sect, Boko Haram, on Monday night killed about 300
people in Gamboru Ngala, Borno State. Gamboru Ngala is a border town
with Cameroon.
The Boko Haram insurgents also abducted
11 more girls in Warabe and....
Wala communities in the Chibok Local
Government Area of Borno State late on Monday.
The insurgents reportedly drove into Gamboru Ngala in armoured vehicles.
It was learnt that the insurgents, who
seemed to have targeted a local market, shot sporadically at traders at
the market before proceeding into the town to wreak more havoc.
Gamboru is situated along
Nigeria-Cameroon border and is the administrative headquarters of the
Ngala Local Government Area of Borno State. It is about 200 kilometres
from Maiduguri, the state capital city.
Senator Ahmed Zannah, who is
representing the area in the Senate, confirmed the killings. He said the
invaders spent about 12 hours wreaking havoc on defenceless Nigerians.
He revealed that several other persons
were injured in the attack, while almost all the houses and shops in the
town were burnt down.
