HOUSES, pharmaceutical shops and food stores worth millions of naira were razed by Boko Haram insurgents in Womdeo village, Askira Uba Local Government Area of Borno State.
The insurgents drove into the southern Borno village in gun trucks and motorcycles around 6.30 pm on Tuesday and began to shoot indiscriminately.
Ibrahim Samuel, a resident of Womdeo, disclosed that the insurgents operated for more than two hours without interruption and left after they had accomplished their mission.
“When we heard gunshots, we immediately took to our heels; I was running for safety and the Boko Haram members were right behind me but they didn’t touch me, they only went ahead and started burning houses.
