Rampaging Boko Haram fighters on Wednesday stormed Geidam, a town in Yobe state, and unleashed terror on it.
The sect members reportedly parked their motorcycles in a nearby community and entered the town secretly on foot through the east on Wednesday night without firing a single shot.
According to Daily Trust the insurgents set Government Science and Technical School Geidam ablaze, killing one person at the school quarters.
The gunmen also stormed ‘Kwari’, a popular brothel in Geidam, where they slaughtered 10 persons, both men and women, a resident who pleaded anonymity told the media outlet
“They took us by surprise this time around; they entered in silence without firing shots or using vehicles.”
“Upon their entrance, they asked some of the residents to recite verses of the Qur’an before they either allowed them leave or get killed.”
Meanwhile, some residents are currently fleeing the town to avoid being trapped as was the case last year when the insurgents spent days in the community.
The Executive Chairman of Geidam Local Government, Ali Kolo, could not be reached for comments as of the time of filing this report, but his deputy, Musa Muhammed, confirmed the attack.
