Ebun Francis

The nation is reporting that at least three people and an unspecified number of women have been abducted in Ndagu village, Askira-Uba local government area of Borno state.

The Newspaper citing security sources said the  fresh Boko Haram attack took place on Sunday.

The source told the paper, “The insurgents came in their numbers and set the entire village ablaze,” the source said.

“At least three people were killed in the attack.”

Ibrahim Askira, a resident of the village, reportedly said residents of the community are now at the mercy of the insurgents because of inadequate security for people in the area.

“As I speak with you now, many people who fled to the bush have not returned. We are not sure what has happened to them. They took away many women that we are not yet sure of the number,” Aminu, a local hunter, said.

“The people in this village are completely traumatized due to this attack. We cannot be sure of our next sleep. I call on the security to be more proactive in dealing with these Boko Haram boys. If the security agents leave us like this, they will finish us.”
