B’Haram kills 25 in Borno again

Firstclass newsline gathered that the dreaded Boko Haram sect has
killed 25 persons at the outskirts of Maiduguri, a member of youth
vigilance group, Abba Izge, told a source on the telephone on Tuesday
in Maiduguri.
Izge said over a hundred Boko Haram militants stormed Mainok village
in Konduga Local Government of Borno State, North-East Nigeria on
Monday at about 6pm, killing residents at will in a siege that was on
four over three hours.
He said the vehicles that were trapped in Mainok, along
Maiduguri/Damaturu highways, were not spared as they were set ablaze
by the hoodlums.
Izge said, "More than 30 vehicles that were trapped were burnt down as
well as hundreds of homes.
Mainok village is about 45 kilometres away from Maiduguri, the Borno
State capital.
He said, "The entire town was left to mourn the dead and bury their
lost ones; some of them burnt beyond recognition.
"Some of the foodstuffs of the villagers were carted away."
He said some people have not been seen after the attack on the town,
which has made many to be apprehensive that perhaps they might have
gone away with them with the mission to forcefully conscript them.
Meanwhile, the United States Government has said that the brutality of
Boko Haram knows no bounds in view of the recent attacks by the
insurgents across the countries in the West African region.
The US also condemned in strong terms the recent killings of innocent
people by Boko Haram. The terrorist group's latest violent attacks
were carried out on Chad, Cameroon, Niger and Nigeria.
In a statement made available to our correspondent on Tuesday by the
US Embassy in Nigeria, the US Department of State's spokesperson, John
Kirby, stated that the US strongly condemned the "horrific and
indiscriminate" Boko Haram suicide attacks on the Grand Marche in the
Chadian capital of N'Djamena on Saturday, as well as attacks in
Cameroon, Niger and Nigeria "over the past two days."
The statement said, "Boko Haram's targeting of men, women and children
highlights that the group's brutality and barbarism know no bounds,
and we remain committed to working closely with the region to root out
the threat posed by the group.
