| [SAHARAREPORTERS] Boko Haram ... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality... holy warriors have attacked Bille village, in Askira/Uba LGA Borno state today, as many are feared dead, and several homes have been burned down. The holy warriors stormed the Bille district at about 7:05 am Nigerian time on Monday. They reportedly opened fire on the villagers indiscriminately. Villagers who fought back killed five Boko Haram members. Several villages lost their homes to the notorious group, who also burned and razed churches, as well as shops and other houses in the area. local vigilante, Yohana Musa, who spoke to our news hound by phone said, "the attackers were well armed with weapons of mass destruction, such as anti aircraft guns, and rocket propelled launchers, and other dangerous weapons. The source noted that, "five of our (armed) members were killed, as well as over ten villagers. Several were maimed. I am confused in fact. Right now, the village is on fire." He added that two Nigeria Air Force fighter jets had arrived in Bille, and started an immediate bombardment of the bully boys. Fatalities and injuries stemming from that fire-fight are yet to surface with accurate numbers. But the situation is currently calm, as many villagers had fled for safety, the source said. SaharaReporters has learned that some of the villagers fled to the bush and other nearby villages for their safety. |
