1 Killed, Shop Burnt In Yobe Boko Haram Attack

 

Boko Haram terrorists have killed one person and burnt his mini shop during an attack on College Pumpo Village in Gujba local government area of Yobe State. The incident took place on Saturday night, residents have said.

The ward head, Ardo Dungus Bulama, told journalists that the attackers arrived in the village at about 11 pm and began to shoot sporadically.

The gunmen who rode bicycles were said to have torched one mini shop belonging to the late Modu Zarami, who they had earlier killed.

Some of the villagers who had retired to their beds earlier due to the harmattan haze and cold, said it was the sound of gunshots that woke them.

One of the villagers said, "We were jolted out of our bedrooms by the sound of gunshots, the gunmen also looted foodstuff during the attack.”

It was gathered that a 35-year-old man, whose shop was burnt, was the only victim of the attack.
