Boko Haram Terrorists Strike Again Near Chibok, Killing 19 People

Boko Haram again struck in Alagarno,   in the Damboa Local Government Area of     Borno State, killing 19 people and carting away food items.

Alagarno is about 30 kilometres from Chibok and 117 kilometres from Maiduguri, the Borno State capital.

According to the residents of the village, the insurgents, on arrival at about 4am on Wednesday     set ablaze several houses after killing children, women and men.

A resident of the village, Mallam Umaru Saina, told journalists on the telephone   that a young woman was missing after the attack.

Saina said, “They destroyed everything we have and burnt down our   foodstuffs. The most painful thing is that they killed children,   women and men.”

Attempts to get a confirmation from the Army and Police spokespersons in the state   proved abortive   as they could not be reached on their telephone lines.

Sources in both police and the army however revealed that troops had been sent to the village.
