Suspected armed members of Boko Haram terrorists invaded Bazir village of Chibok local government area in Borno state and killed two civilian brothers.

The terrorists also razed down a Church and other residential houses after looking at food crops and livestock without confrontation.

Sources revealed that the incident took place in the early hours of Sunday, precisely 2:00 am when villagers were still asleep.

Just last week similar incident took place when some terrorists on 2nd January attacked Njilang village in the same Chibok and wreaked havoc, after the displacement of the whole community who are currently taking refuge in safer locations.

A few days ago, Senator Mohammed Ali Ndume (APC Borno South), in which Chibok Council formed part of his constituency lamented over the renewed attacks in communities of Damboa and other local government areas in the state.

One of the residents of Bazir who fled unhurt, Mr. James Ayuba while commenting on the attack, said, ” It was by God’s Grace that we escaped unhurt, but our house was set ablaze completely after the terrorists looted our agricultural produce.

” I am calling on the government and security agencies to take urgent action to address the renewed attacks in Southern Borno. Our people, especially those in Chibok deserve to live in peace and safety, and it is the responsibility of the authorities to ensure that they are protected and secured”. He stated.

All efforts to get confirmation from the Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Kenneth Daso proved abortive at press time.
