Sahara Reporters sources say that the insurgents killed at least four locals while hundreds other have run for their safety in yesterday’s onslaught.

According to witnesses, hundreds of civilians, including children, were seen moving along the Konduga-Maiduguri road, escaping the violence.

On his own part, Senator Kaka Garbai, representing Borno Central at the National Assembly, who answered to the village after the attack, criticised the violence and advised the army to do more to protect the lives and property of Borno state residents.

Garbai told reporters that “the terrorists killed four people here last night. I came here to condole with the relations of the victims.”

However, a local vigilante Miana Ibrahim reported that six people were murdered. He also said that livestock were killed and many domes were devastated by fire.

The village of Mairi is situated in the Konduga local government area of Borno state. The attack on the area took place late Friday night and resulted in many parts of the village being set ablaze.

Despite the announcement of President Muhammadu Buhari that the terrorists have been technically defeated, the Boko Haram continue to attack and kill innocent Nigerians.

Dalori village was stormed last weekend where more than eighty-five people were reportedly killed and the whole village was burnt down.
