Terrorists attacked a mosque in Borno state and killed the Chief Imam of Gima as well as three other worshippers.

Nation and Daily Trust reported on Friday, September 2, said that many other people were injured in the Askira-Uba Local Government Area incident.

According to reports, the attackers, who numbered around 20, opened fire on worshippers after they had completed their Fajir prayers at mosque.

They also stole livestock and food items and set fire to two vehicles in Ngulde, which is close to Sambisa forest.

Yesterday, Hon Bilyaminu Umar, a councilor from Ngulde Ward reported the attack. He stated that

“I, Hon Bilyaminu Umar, Councilor representing Ngulde ward in Askira-Uba local government, wish to sincerely extend my heartfelt condolences and sympathy to my entire constituents over the recent heinous attack by Boko Haram insurgents, which occurred on 2nd September 2022.

“Ngulde ward is one of the strongest communities in Askira-Uba local government that gave me the mandate in the last local government election to represent them. Since then, I have been enjoying their solidarity and support, hence I felt deeply shocked in sharing the grief of this latest attack, when most of my people were busy tapping from this year’s farming season.

“The attack, which occurred in the early hours of Friday, September 2, 2022, after fajir prayers, claimed four lives and left many with injuries, while properties and businesses worth millions of naira were also destroyed and carted away by the insurgents.

“Already, I have informed the Deputy speaker Borno State House of Assembly Rt Hon. Abdullahi Askira, on the unfortunate attack. He promised to convey it to the Executive Governor professor Babagana Umara Zulum for necessary action.”

Borno State Deputy Speaker, who is also representing Askira-Uba constituency, Abdullahi Askira, confirmed the incident.

Hmmmm
God help us..
Insecurity on the increase

May Allah catch them.

This is serious
