Two brothers have been killed as suspected Boko Haram terrorists carried out a dawn attack on Bazir village in Chibok Local Government Area of Borno State.
The sources added that the incident occurred in the early hours of Sunday, January 12, 2025, when the villagers were still asleep.
Sources from the community said the terrorists also razed down a church and other residential houses after looting food crops and livestock of the villagers without confrontation.
One of the residents of Bazir village, who fled unhurt, Mr. James Ayuba, said it was by God’s grace that they escaped unhurt, but added that their houses were set ablaze completely after the terrorists had looted their farm produce.
“I am calling on the government and security agencies to take urgent action to address the renewed attacks in Southern Borno. Our people, especially those in Chibok, deserve to live in peace and safety, and it is the responsibility of the authorities to ensure that they are protected and secured,” he said.
Similarly, a human rights activist, who hails from Chibok, Mr Allamson Ayuba, condemned the attack and called on the government and the Nigerian military to save the people of Chibok and the environs from continued devastating attacks and destruction of lives and property of the people by terrorists.
