Terrorists kill 1 in Yobe attack

Boko Haram terrorists have killed one person in an attack on a Yobe State community, reports say.

The attack occurred in Babban Gida village on Sunday, January 24, 2016, according to AFP.

“The terrorists ‎initially shot dead a man and burnt his thatched hut on the outskirts of the village,” State police spokesperson, Toyin Gbadegesin said.

“They attacked the police station where troops engaged them in a fight which forced them to retreat,” he added.

Gbadegesin also said that the insurgents stole two police vehicles before they were eventually driven out.

Meanwhile, the Nigerian government has insisted that the war against Boko Haram has largely been won.
