Insurgents believed to be part of the dreaded Boko Haram last
night attacked Shani, the headquarters of Shani Local Government Area
in southern part of Borno State.
The gunmen on arrival to the town had opened fire on innocent citizens and set public buildings on fire.
The number of casulties is yet unknown but one Baba Garba a resident of the area told Daily Trust: “The terrorists stormed Shani in a convoy of over 20 motorcycles. Most of them carried assault rifles and petrol bombs”.
Another source, Yusuf Sabo revealed that the gunmen attacked and destroyed the Divisional Police in Shani.
He said:“The police on duty fled when it was obvious that the terrorists had superior weapons.
“After they hurled explosives into the station, they proceeded to the town and only God knows the mayhem they inflicted on the people,” he told DailyTrust.
Nigerian Police and Army are yet to respond to questions regarding the attack.
