Islamist militant group, Boko Haram has intensified their attacks in
Borno state less than 24 hours after President Goodluck Jonathan paid an
unscheduled visit to the state.
Villagers invade told SaharaReporters that the militants killed several
villagers and burnt down many homes as well as shops.
The attack that was initially resisted by vigilantes known as “Civilian
Joint Task Force” affected Kayamula, a village some 15km to the Giwa
Barracks in Maiduguri.
Kayamula is in Konduga local government area of the state.
Some resident, that fled the scene of the attack, said they received
advance notice that Boko Haram militants were headed to the village and
passed the information to the army but nothing was done to protect the
village.
