Nine Civilians Killed In Latest Boko Haram Attack

“Today September 27, 22015, suspected Boko Haram terrorists attacked Mailari village in Konduga LGA”. The United States also continues to provide advisors and share information with our regional partners to enhance counter-Boko Haram operations, as well as victim support and counter-violent extremism programming.

To assist the military in its fight against Boko Haram, the Nigerian defense spokesman called on members of the public to continue supporting security agents by reporting any suspicious movement of persons or vehicles loaded with supplies meant for Boko Haram terrorists enclaves. Boko Haram’s indiscriminate violence has created more than 2 million internally displaced persons and over 200,000 refugees throughout the Lake Chad Basin region.

Malari is in Konduga Local Government area of Borno State and about 35 kilometers from Maiduguri, the state capital and has suffered series of deadly attacks in recent past.

The Nigerian military has claimed a string of victories over Boko Haram recently recapturing Banki in Borno from the sect.

Since the three-month deadline given to the military by President Buhari to exterminate insurgents in Nigeria, the military have stepped up on operations in the North East.

He said: “We fled into the bush and after they left, we returned to pick some of our belongings”.

“Actually, Madagali is under the control of 28 Task Force Battalion based in Mubi town but the commanding officer told me that it is true that there was an attack on two villages, Dutse-biyu and one other village in Madagali Local Government Area of Adamawa State”.
