About 9 people have been killed by Boko Haram/ISWAP after they attacked an hotel in Geidam Local Government Area in the restive Northeast Yobe State.
According to residents, the sect members sneaked into the town on Wednesday night without firing a single shot. They were said to have parked their motorbikes in a neighbouring community.
This was after the terrorists attacked, kornari village, about 3 kilometres to Burutai in Biu, Banki in Bama and Wulgo in Ngala local government areas.
SpyeNews gathered that the insurgents entered through the eastern part of the town and set Government Science and Technical School Geidam ablaze, killing one person at the school quarters.
While the troops of Operation Hadin Kai came through Garin Banza, to repel the insurgents invasion, the terrorists, hide their motorcycles, then razed a government technical school to divert attention of the troops.
Meanwhile, some residents are currently fleeing the town to avoid being trapped as was the case last year when the insurgents spent days in the community.
The Executive Chairman of Geidam Local Government, Ali Kolo, could not be reached aa at the time of filing this report, but his deputy, Musa Muhammed, confirmed the attack.
