Residents of Magumeri, the main town and Local Government Area after Maiduguri, and before Gubio and Damasak is currently under attack by Homo Haram insurgents.
The Point gathered that the town has been torched in its entirety by the marauding terrorists, even as some residents of the town have found their way to Maiduguri, the state capital after escaping from the attackers.
This was just as Nganzai along Maiduguri-Baga road was also attacked a few weeks ago, leading to the death of Nigerian troops and the carting away of food items provided by United Nations’ agencies and other international non-governmental organisations operating in the area.
The terrorists, according to eye witnesses’ accounts, cautioned the civilian population to be calm and go about their activities in the area.
