Three residents are feared killed as Boko Haram insurgents attacked a small village outside the headquarters of Chibok council area.
The incident, which occured at about 3 O’clock Tuesday morning, sent residents of Njilang village scampering for their lives when the terrorists stormed the place shooting sporadically.
Several others were allegedly wounded while trying to escape from the bullets of the terrorists mostly of the Islamic state of west Africa ISWAP who equally burnt down their shops and houses bringing the entire village into rubbles.
Meanwhile reliable sources who spoke to metrowatchonline.com through phone said it could not be established if anyone of the residents was abducted by Boko Haram in the village adjoining the Sambisa forest.
But “three people were actually picked out by the flying bullets fired by Boko Haram which wounded a lot of other people who survived the attack by the insurgents and have been rushed to the hospital.
“One woman was said to have jumped into a nearby river in the confusion instead of allowing herself to be captured by Boko Haram who would have surely made her a sex slave”, metrowatchonline.com further gathered.
The ISWAP terrorists were said to have come through the west end of Chibok by Alageno forest which is another deadly spiritual hot spot of the insurgents in the Damboa Chibok axis of the state.
Askira Uba, Lassa, Chibok and some villages around Damboa town are close neighbors of the Sambisa and Alageno forest which has been an on and off abode for the insurgents within the decade long war which has ravaged Borno state.
About 276 students packed like export luggages into trucks were whisked from a hostel in Chibok in 2014 and taken into the Sambisa.
They are yet to be returned to their loved ones eight years after.
