Many
people are feared dead after Boko Haram members stormed Gubio community
in Borno state on Saturday May 23rd, shooting sporadically and
destroying houses and properties. According to a resident, Adam Kakami,
who spoke with AFP, the sect members, dressed in military fatique
operated for 6 hours
“We stayed in the
bush from where we could hear sounds of guns up to 3:00 am (0200 GMT)
when the shooting stopped but we could see fire from all over the town.
We decided not to return and moved towards Maiduguri because we were
afraid they would return.” he said
Another resident, Babor Kachalla said
"Boko
Haram invaded our town last night and killed many of our people and
burnt more than half of the town. We all fled into the bush amid volleys
of bullets and rockets. We lost many people in the attack because the
gunmen overpowered the soldiers guarding the town,” he said
