Following the deadly attack on churches in
Kautikari and some other villages of Chibok
Local Government Area of Borno Stateby the
suspected Boko Haram sects this morning, June
29, at least 30 bodies have been recovered
according to members of a local vigilante group.
Members of the vigilante group who said search
is still going said they found 30 corpses from
surrounding bushes and Churches in Kwada
and Kautikari villages.
It was reported today that the gunmen stormed
the villages and started burning Churches,
houses and shooting worshippers.
According to Premium times, a vigilante
member, who would not want to be quoted for
his safety said: “We have so far recovered more
than 30 corpses, but we got more of them from
the EYN church where the Boko Haram gunmen
first attacked in Kwada.”
The source said the community did not receive
protection from the security forces despite
calling for help early.
“We are disappointed with the soldiers, when
we heard about the attack in Kwada, we raised
alarm and informed the soldiers, but instead of
going into the town to confront them, they stood
from a distance outside the village, under a tree
and began to shoot or target. The gunmen
finished with Kwada and proceeded to
Kautikari, where they attacked people there
until 11:30am when they finally left. We cannot
say how many people were killed in Kwada
yet,” he said.
Meanwhile the Borno State police
spokesperson, Gideon Jubrin said although he
was informed of the attack, he did not have full
details as of Sunday afternoon. Mr. Jubrin said
he was yet to contact the district police officer
in charge of Chibok.
It would be recalled that on June 16, it was
reported that the dreaded Boko Haram sects
issues a threat to Chibok residents of their
plans to attack after they abducted over 200
Chibok school girls on April 14.
