At least four persons have been killed by members of Boko Haram terrorists in fresh attack on Ngulde Community of Askira -Uba local government area of Borno State.
Among those killed in the attack, which also left many others injured, was the Chief Imam of Gima,
The terrorists, according to an investigation, were only confined in Tuga, a riverine community, but now deserted, and took the advantage of having access to Ngulde, as the roads linking Tuga Garambal, Garkida and some parts of Adamawa, Hawul or Askira-Uba communities remained inaccessible due to flooding and heavy waves.
The terrorists also looted livestock and food items without confrontation, after setting ablaze two vehicles, as Ngulde is a remote agrarian community situated in some parts of Sambisa forest.
A councillor representing Ngulde ward, Bilyaminu Umar, confirmed the incident on his Facebook page yesterday.
“The attack, which occurred in the early hours of Friday, September 2, 2022, after fajr prayers, claimed four (4) lives and left many with casualties, while properties and Businesses worth Millions of naira were also destroyed and carted away by the insurgents.

Another victim who was among those who sustained various degrees of injuries died on the way to Garkida general hospital.
