At least four security personnel have lost their lives following a terrorist attack at Dalori Gari, a village few kilometers from Maiduguri.
The victims include one Civilian Joint Task Force member, a hunter, a soldier, and a mobile police officer.
Similarly, an undisclosed number of people have been kidnapped.
They victims were escorting farmers to their farmland on Monday morning when the incident happened.
According to a security source who confirmed this to YERWA EXPRESS NEWS, the terrorists came on their motorbikes but parked them from a distance and sneaked in on foot to launch the attack.
They opened fire on the security personnel, which included the CJTF and other security agencies, killing four of them while others sustained injuries.
Scores of the farmers were also abducted, but this paper could not confirm the exact number.
It is believed that the Dalori Gari axis usually becomes inaccessible during the rainy season, even for security personnel, with some advising a complete movement restriction to the area to avoid incidents like this one.
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.
