Yesterday, September 26, reports surfaced that some
armed gunmen believed to be Boko Haram members
attacked Kuburvwa village in Borno state.
Naij.com reported that the gunmen invaded the village at
about 6.30pm and started shooting sporadically causing
the locals to take refuge in the bushes around them.
According to what a security source told BBC, Boko Haram
has now hoisted its flag in three villages in the north-east
villages after over-running them during yesterday’s attack.
The villages are: Kubirivour, Boftari and Kuburmbalah.
Yesterday’s attack led to the death of eight
people including a village elder slaughtered by the
terrorists.
According to other sources, the militants were also still in
control of Malam Fatori town, on the Nigeria-Niger border.
