Boko Haram terrorists have reportedly attacked a community near Chibok in Borno State.
The insurgents were said to have raided the village on the night of Monday, January 6, 2016, and stolen foodstuffs and livestock while injuring several villagers.
“We are having telecommunications problems in Chibok and environs, there was an attack on Monday night in Toshia village where the insurgents injured some villagers, but there was no loss of life,” a local vigilante, Aliyu Ba'na told Sahara Reporters.
“The village was burnt down, all livestock was carted away, and foodstuffs were equally looted though the military has taken a proactive step by protecting Chibok town. As a result, all routes linking to Chibok are barricaded,” he added.
Chibok is the town from which over 200 girls were abducted in April 2014. Most of them remain in captivity.
Meanwhile, the Nigerian government insists that the war against Boko Haram has largely been won.
