Boko Haram attacks Yobe community, hoists flag in military base
[PUNCHNG] 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...
turbans on Tuesday attacked a community and burnt down a school, healthcare centre and a military base before hoisting their flag at the military base in Katarko, Gujba Local Government Area of Yobe State.

According to sources, the gunnies stormed the town in the early hours while the villagers were going for morning prayers at the mosque and started shooting indiscriminately; though no life was lost, the turbans burnt the military base at the entrance to the town.

A resident of the community, simply identified as Fannami, stated, "The turbans drove in gun trucks and headed straight for the military base and opened fire on the soldiers. The soldiers fled and the turbans drove into the town. That was around 5am, when we were going for Alfijir prayers in the mosque.

"When we heard their chanting of Allahu Akbar and rapid gunshots, we became confused and abandoned the prayers. Some ran into the bush for safety, while many others locked themselves in their rooms. We only came back to our homes when we were certain that they had left. They operated for over one hour without any challenge or resistance from either the military or the locals."
