Boko Haram terrorists on Saturday attacked the Gujba
town of Gujba Local Government Area of Yobe State.
This attack comes two days after suspected Boko haram insurgents
attacked the Geidam community in the state where they burnt down
shops and carted away drugs in the hospital.
Speaking to Channels Television, a local source, Adamu
Bura, said the terrorists first laid ambush to a military patrol
vehicle on the highway and later stormed the village setting some
structures ablaze.
“They laid ambush to a military vehicle then later proceeded to
the Gujba town. We have fled to the bush but we can see smoke
everywhere,” he said.
The Yobe State Police Command also confirmed the attack to
Channels Television via a telephone conversation.
The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, ASP Dungus
Abdulkarim, however, said that the information on the casualties is
still sketchy.

But efforts made to reach the acting Assistant Director of
Public Relations Sector 2 Operation Lafiya Dole, Lieutenant Kennedy
Anyanwu, proved abortive as his line was busy.

The recent attack has created fear among the residents
considering the fact that where the attack took place is just 30
kilometres away from Damaturu, the state capital and 24 kilometres
south where the Tactical headquarters of 27 Taskforce Brigade of
the Nigeria Army, Bunigari is located.
Although relative calm has returned to the area, authorities are
yet to disclose the number of casualties and properties
damaged.
Just last week Thursday, the Army Chief of Training and
Operation, Major General Nuhu Angbazo launched operation “Tura
Takai Bango” at Bunigari to deal with the recent upsurge of the
insurgents’ raid.
