Tuesday, April 29, 2025 - Suspected Boko Haram terrorist have k!lled 7 mourners and injured several others in Kopl village, Chibok Local Government Area of Borno State.
The Chairman of Chibok Local Government, Modu Mustapha,
confirmed the attack, stating that it occurred around 6 pm on Monday, April 28,
2025.
The attack happened just hours after passengers, including
women and children, were k!lled along the Rann-Gamboru Ngala Road in Kala Balge
LGA of the state.
He said the insurgents stormed the area on the final day of
mourning their loved ones and opened fire on them.
“They gathered for the funeral prayer when insurgents
descended on them. We evacuated many who sustained bullet wounds to Mubi
General Hospital in nearby Adamawa State.
“The number of deaths may be higher than seven, as some
people escaped into the bush with bullet wounds. Search and rescue operations
are ongoing to assist those in the bush,” he said.
Senator Ali Ndume (APC, Borno South) has consistently
condemned the attacks, describing the situation as beyond human imagination.
He said, “Yesterday (Sunday), I received a distress call
that over 10 members of vigilante groups were killed in a community between
Hawul Local Government Area of Borno State and Garkida town in Adamawa State,”
he said.
“My people are suffering severe casualties with no
confrontation. In the last month, over 100 people have been killed in several
coordinated attacks in Sabon Gari, Izge, Kirawa, Pulka, Damboa, Chibok, Askira
Uba, and many other areas.”
