Terrorists kill 8, abduct women and children in Borno

The insurgents were said to have invaded the village in two Hilux vehicles, armed with AK-47 rifles and petrol bombs, according to Vanguard.

“Because of lack of telecommunication service, we could not be contacted that night. We later received a distress call from our community on Tuesday (yesterday) that Boko Haram insurgents attacked our people and killed eight before abducting several others, including my sister,” an indigene, Amos Ali said.

“We are worried, especially now that the military said it has eliminated terrorists from the region,” he added.
