Suspected Boko Haram members have attacked Yale village, near Konduga in Konduga Local Government Area of Borno State, killing seven persons.
The incident happened between Saturday night and Sunday morning.
Daily Trust quoted a witness as telling newsmen that the seven victims included a soldier and a leader of the local vigilante, adding that the insurgents laid ambush on their victims.
Meanwhile, some Boko Haram elements have threatened to unleash more attacks on Maiduguri and its environs, saying the attack they launched on communities on the outskirts of the city last Wednesday was just the beginning.
“You should know that this war is a war that will be inherited by our children and grandchildren, it is not a war that will end at once,” threatened a sect member wearing camouflage.
The sect member who appeared in a video clip released last Saturday evening by the Abubakar Shekau faction of the sect, also dismissed as false the reconciliation moves between them and the Nigerian authorities.
He further threatened, “Wait for us. We are coming. We will search for you wherever you are. As you search for us in the forest, we will search for you in your cities. So get well prepared.”
The Nigerian Army’s spokesman, Brig. Gen. Sani Usman, is yet to react to the development as of the time of this report.
