Again, the dreaded Boko Haram militants
attacked and killed 25 persons at the outskirts of Maiduguri, on Tuesday.
According to Punch, this was revealed by Abba
Izge, a member of youth vigilance group, in a telephone interview.
Izge said over a hundred Boko Haram militants
stormed Mainok village in Konduga Local Government of Borno State, North-East
Nigeria on Monday at about 6pm, killing residents at will in a siege that was
on four over three hours.
He said the vehicles that were trapped in
Mainok, along Maiduguri/Damaturu highways, were not spared as they were set
ablaze by the hoodlums.
Izge said, “More than 30 vehicles that were
trapped were burnt down as well as hundreds of homes.
Mainok village is about 45 kilometres away
from Maiduguri, the Borno State capital.
He said, “The entire town was left to mourn
the dead and bury their lost ones; some of them burnt beyond recognition.
“Some of the foodstuffs of the villagers were
carted away.”
He said some people have not been seen after
the attack on the town, which has made many to be apprehensive that perhaps
they might have gone away with them with the mission to forcefully conscript
them.
