Suspected Boko Haram terrorists have kidnapped two residents of Kaleri community in Borno after an attack.
Kaleri is a newly sprung neighbourhood under Jere Local Government Area of Borno State.
A source from the community told our reporter that the incident occurred yesterday evening, in a place called Karshen Bangon University, the termination point of the fencing of UNIMAID.
The source said the terrorists entered the area, shooting sporadically and searching house to house for foodstuff.
'They arrived with sophisticated weapons, shooting sporadically to cause panic among all residents and allow them to steal.
'We fled to a neighbouring community for our safety until the gun sounds subsidized, and they kidnapped two people,' the source added.
He added that after the incident, police operatives cordoned off the area and made some arrests; but it is not clear if they have connections to the kidnapped.

Conflict Reporting is dangerous and risky. Our reporters constantly face life-threatening challenges, sometimes surviving ambushes, kidnap attempts and attacks by the whiskers as they travel and go into communities to get authentic and firsthand information. But we dare it every day, nonetheless, in order to keep you informed of the true situation of the victims, the trends in the conflicts and ultimately help in peace building processes. But these come at huge cost to us. We are therefore appealing to you to help our cause by donating to us through any of the following means. You can also donate working tools, which are even more primary to our work. We thank you sincerely as you help our cause.
