Suspected Boko Haram terrorists have
burnt down houses, including the family home of the Chief of Army Staff,
Maj. Gen. Tukur Buratai, in his village in Borno State.
At least, two people were killed and
eight injured during the attack on Buratai village on Tuesday, sources
told our correspondent in Abuja.
It was learnt that the terrorists killed two auto mechanics and torched some houses during the attack on the community.
“What really happened was that Boko Haram
went there. They killed two motorcycle mechanics and torched some
houses. It is not a massive attack. It was an isolated opportunistic
attack, but the Army is on top of the situation. Troops are on the
ground now,” a source stated.
Meanwhile, additional roads have been
cleared of landmines by troops for use by commuters in compliance with
the directive by the CAS to troops in the 3 and 7 Divisions of the
Nigerian Army.
