Members of the Boko Haram sect last night around 10pm
attacked the Pela Birni village of Hawul LGA of Borno state, killing at least 2
people and burning down churches and houses. Reports say the men came into the
Christian dominated village with AK 47 rifles and other powerful explosives
which they used to shoot people indiscriminately and also set homes and
churches ablaze. Amongst the churches destroyed was the Church of the Brethren.
"Yes there was an attack in one of my village yesterday
which led to wanton killings and destruction of property. We have communicated
to relevant security agencies on the matter who have swung into action with a
view to apprehend the perpetrators, we have also mobilized our people to
ascertain the damage and assist the displaced Persons as an interim measure” Dr Andrew Usman Malgwi, chairman Hawul LGA
said confirming the accident.
He has since informed the authorities.
