Boko Haram has reportedly killed at least nine people in an attack on Gaidam LGA in Yobe State.

The community was reportedly invaded on Wednesday around 9.30pm

According to sources, the insurgents came on foot and moved straight to a drinking joint located at Kwari ward, and started shooting sporadically and killing the victims who were said to be vendors and injured several others.

“While the troops of Operation Hadin Kai came through Garin Banza to repel the insurgents’ invasion, the Boko Haram members hid their motorcycles, then razed a government technical school to divert the attention of the troops,” a source said.

“They first ordered the victims to lay down, then slaughtered some of them while they tied others with their hands behind their backs and shot them on the heads. Other heads were cut off and placed on their chest.”

The country has been experiencing a spike in its security apparatus in the last few weeks.  Recently, bandits also attacked the Abuja-Kaduna rail killing a lot of people including a young female medical doctor and injuring several.
