Boko Haram terrorists have renewed attacks on villagers in Borno despite the Nigerian Federal Government’s promise to overcome them.

The villages are in Mafa Local Govern­ment, one of the 12 coun­cils under Boko Haram

A youth vigilante mem­ber, Said that the insurgents were over a dozen accord­ing to account by villagers, adding that they invaded the two communities at 4.30am on Thursday and “con­tinued the attack till day break.” He said the military was not alerted in time as the insurgents succeeded in killing many people.
