Residents report that Baga and Monguno towns in the northern part of Borno State have come under renewed Boko Haram attacks.
According to a Monguno indigene who went to celebrate the Sallah at home from one of the IDP camps in Maiduguri,
” we learnt that Baga was attacked at about 12 midnight and by 2am, we were attacked at Monguno. I do not know the number of casualties but certainly, many people were killed by the insurgents.”
Ibrahim Mammadu and others who had gone to celebrate Sallah in their home towns had to beat a quick retreat to Maiduguri owing to the attacks.
” We had to trek down from Shagari low cost to Bakasi last night because the soldiers would not allow us to come in with our vehicle following the restriction for Sallah. I do not think this Boko Haram is over as government wants us to believe," he said.
