•Boko Haram terrorists

Boko Haram terrorists have attacked the community in Borno State and killed two persons while also razing down a church.

The village is called Bamzir village under Whuntaku District, Chibok Local Government Area, reports Channels TV.

In a statement, the media team of the local government chairman of Chibok LGA Mustapha Madu said the terrorists attacked around 2:10 am yesterday and set many houses ablaze resulting in the death of two blood brothers identified as Josiah Pogu Pudza, a student of SS Two, and Enoch Pogu Pudza while one Esther Yohanna sustained a bullet injury.

The statement noted that the terrorists carted away food items and livestock, and razed down the EYN LCC church auditorium, and several houses and shops.

The two persons were buried early in the morning. The chairman of the LGA Mustapha Madu was in attendance.

Mustapha condoled with the family of the bereaved and also inspected all burnt houses, shops, and the church auditorium.

Terrorists Kill Telecoms Workers

The incident came just at the same time some suspected Lakurawa terrorists killed several persons in North-Western state of Kebbi on Friday.

They killed two telecoms workers and one indigene of Gumki village in Arewa Local Government Area of Kebbi State on yesterday.

The terrorists invaded the community and perpetrated the deadly act when victims were installing surveillance masks in the area.

“On 10/01/2025 at about 2047hrs, suspected Lakurawa bandits invaded a construction site at Gumki village, Arewa LGA, a community between Nigeria and Niger Republic, where staff of Airtel communication Nigeria Ltd were installing a surveillance mask for the Nigeria Immigration Service,” police authorities in Borno said.

“As a result, four people lost their lives, one indigene and three staff of the Airtel company. On receipt of the report, the Commissioner of Police, Kebbi State Command, CP Bello M Sani alongside the Comptroller, Nigeria Immigration Service, Kebbi State Command, CIS Muhammad Bashir Lawali, swiftly mobilised to the scene, evacuated the corpses to Sir Yahaya Memorial Hospital, Birnin Kebbi.”
