No fewer than 16 villagers, mostly youths, have been reportedly killed, while four persons sustained injuries after a fresh attack by Boko Haram fighters on Geidam LGA of Yobe State.
It was gathered that the terrorists invaded Nguro Kayayya village on the outskirts of Geidam LGA at about 9:00 am on Monday when many residents of the town were sleeping.
A source, who has relatives in the town, told our correspondent via a telephone call that he counted the corpses of 16 persons after the attack.
‘‘They attacked the town when most of the residents were sleeping. I went there to see by myself and I counted 16 corpses while four persons sustained injuries. They (victims) are receiving treatment at the Specialist Hospital in Geidam.”
