“As I am speaking to you now the gunmen are setting every house on fire after chasing the villagers away”, Gava said.

“From the information, we have received from our operatives in Chibok and Kautikari, the number of casualties cannot be ascertained for now because the Boko Haram insurgents are still in the village,” he added.
