The terrorists are also reported to have abducted an unknown number of women and children on Monday, January 23.

Boko Haram terrorists have killed eight people in Dzaku village in the Askira Uba Local Government Area of Borno State, reports say.

The terrorists are also reported to have abducted an unknown number of women and children on Monday, January 23.

The insurgents were said to have invaded the village in two Hilux vehicles, armed with AK-47 rifles and petrol bombs, according to Vanguard.

“Because of lack of telecommunication service, we could not be contacted that night. We later received a distress call from our community on Tuesday (yesterday) that Boko Haram insurgents attacked our people and killed eight before abducting several others, including my sister,” an indigene, Amos Ali said.

“We are worried, especially now that the military said it has eliminated terrorists from the region,” he added.

Meanwhile, suspected Boko Haram terrorists on Wednesday, January 25 launched a bomb attack on Maiduguri, the Borno state capital.
