Another Boko Haram attack in Chibok leaves 4 people dead and scores injured while many houses were burnt down.
Four people were killed on Saturday and many houses burnt down in another fresh attack at Balakari, a village in Chibok local government area of Borno state.
According to the villagers, the attackers rode on motorbike while others came on foot to attack the village in the evening of Saturday.
Most of the villagers have fled to Chibok town and some have fled towards Askira since the attack and many people are still planning to leave.
A local who spoke on phone told newsmen in Maiduguri: "only in Chibok town that soldiers are present, no soldier, police or any security operative in the villages".
According to the villagers, the attack was successful because there was no presence of any security personnel around the area. This development has made it possible for the group to attack and kill villagers. They decried this ugly development and called on the government to provide the village, security to counter these insurgents. It has also made many people relocate to the cities as Internally Displaced Persons, IDPs.
According to Ma’aji Lawan, there are no Kibaku person in Maiduguri that has no IDPs in his house or has not been supporting one or two families housing IDPs in their homes.
“I have over 10 people who ran away as a result of attacks in our villages, who are now IDPs in my home. I do not think government is ready to end this crises as it is because they are not doing anything as far as I am concerned,” he said.
Many of the residents living in these troubled states are hopeful that the government and the army will come to their rescue and save them from these insurgents.
