About nine Boko Haram terrorists in 3 motorcycles on Friday night stormed Mallamti village in Magumeri Local Government Area (LGA) of Borno State, northeast region.
POLITICS NIGERIA learnt that the terrorists subsequently robbed livestock belonging to the villagers, then headed towards Gajiganna road (around 28 km south of Gajiram).
The Boko Haram insurgency has displaced nearly 2.4 million people in the Lake Chad Basin.
Although the Nigerian military has regained control in parts of the country’s north-east, civilians in Nigeria, Cameroon, Chad and Niger continue to be affected by grave violations of human rights, widespread sexual and gender-based violence, forced recruitment and suicide bombings.
The Nigerian military, together with the Multinational Joint Task Force (MJTF) have driven extremists from many of the areas they once controlled, but these gains have been overshadowed by an increase of Boko Haram attacks in neighbouring countries. Despite the return of Nigerian Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), and refugees to accessible areas, the crisis remains acute.
