Suspected members of Boko Haram/ISWAP terrorists on Saturday invaded Kautikari village of the Chibok Local Government Area in Borno State, setting primary and day secondary schools ablaze.

Recall that the village has recorded a series of deadly Boko Haram attacks in recent times.

Sources told journalists that the incident, which erupted at about 7 p.m. on Saturday, forced residents to flee the community into the bush for safety.

A security personnel, who hail from Kautikari but based in Maiduguri, confirmed the fresh attack.

However, he said, details of casualties are yet to be ascertained.

“Yes, I can confirm to you that our village (Kautikari) in the Chibok Local Government Area is under Boko Haram attack.

“Our people are scampering for safety, even as two schools (primary and day secondary school) are on fire,” he said.

Efforts to get confirmation from the police public relations officer, ASP Keneth Daso, proved abortive at press time.
