Militants
have attacked a community in northeast Nigeria with many feared dead. They
attacked the town of Gudumbali, according to Reuters.
Reuters
reports that the attack has been confirmed by two residents and a vigilante on
Saturday.
The
militants are reported to have struck Gudumbali in Borno state on Friday. They
had worn military uniforms to launch the attack, according to witnesses.
A
resident was quoted as saying that “Many civilians lost their lives, we don’t
have casualty figures for now. Thousand of people fled their homes.”
A
vigilante is also quoted as saying that the militants “came towards the town
shooting sporadically”.
“They
were saying if you know you’re an innocent person just leave the town, our
target is not you, or if you wish to stay with us, it’s no matter, you can stay
with us,” the vigilante added.
Gudumbali
was a town that suffered massive attacks from Boko Haram militants months ago.
Residents fled the town but were asked to return by the government.
The
army has struggled to contain attacks on this town and many parts of
northeastern Nigeria from militants.
