SAD: 30 Bodies
Recovered In Chibok
Villages After Boko
Haram Attacks
Following the deadly attack on
churches in Kautikari and some other
villages of Chibok Local Government
Area of Borno State by the suspected
Boko Haram sects this morning, June 29,
at least 30 bodies have been recovered
according to members of a local vigilante
group.
Members of the vigilante group who said
search is still going said they found 30
corpses from surrounding bushes and
Churches in Kwada and Kautikari villages.
It was reported today that the gunmen
stormed the villages and started burning
Churches, houses and shooting
worshippers.
According to Premium times, a vigilante
member, who would not want to be
quoted for his safety said: “We have so far
recovered more than 30 corpses, but we
got more of them from the EYN church
where the Boko Haram gunmen first
attacked in Kwada.”
The source said the community did not
receive protection from the security forces
despite calling for help early.
“We are disappointed with the soldiers,
when we heard about the attack in Kwada,
we raised alarm and informed the soldiers,
but instead of going into the town to
confront them, they stood from a distance
outside the village, under a tree and began
to shoot or target. The gunmen finished
with Kwada and proceeded to Kautikari,
where they attacked people there until
11:30am when they finally left. We cannot
say how many people were killed in
Kwada yet,” he said.
Meanwhile the Borno State police
spokesperson, Gideon Jubrin said although
he was informed of the attack, he did not
have full details as of Sunday afternoon.
Mr. Jubrin said he was yet to contact the
district police officer in charge of Chibok.
It would be recalled that on June 16, it was
reported that the dreaded Boko Haram
sects issues a threat to Chibok residents of
their plans to attack after they abducted
over 200 Chibok school girls on April 14.
