Two people have been injured, while four houses were destroyed as suspected Boko Haram terrorists infiltrated Buni Gari in Gujba local government area of Yobe state.
The attackers were said to have stormed the community in the late hours of Sunday, where they opened fire sporadically, hence injuring two dwellers and burning to ashes four houses, and a vehicle, in addition to foodstuff. The Village Head of Buni Gari, Alhaji Wakil Kayama who had his house, a car and foodstuff razed down by the assailants, lamented the lack of security in the community, something which he said dwellers are on the verge of deserting Buni Gari if necessary action was not taken.
Kayama cried out to the state government to deploy adequate security operatives to protect lives and property in the town.
The Head of Vigilante Group of the area, Mai Modu, who narrowly escaped with his life and had his house burnt to ashes while narrating his ordeal, decried lack of sophisticated weapons to confront threats from the terrorists.

“There is no security in town, troops from Buni Yadi only come for patrol and leave whenever there is an attack. The members of vigilante group are not equipped, therefore, they cannot withstand the terrorists”, he bitterly lamented.

“Two people were injured, my house, vehicle and foodstuff were all burnt to ashes by the attackers”, he recounted.
