Wednesday, April 1, 2026 - Suspected Boko Haram fighters launched an attack on Kautikari community in Chibok Local Government Area of Borno State, k!lling several people.

According to him, six people were confirmed d3ad so far but the d3ath toll may exceed ten. 

A Facebook user, Junaid Jibril also disclosed that a gallant vigilante commander was k!lled during the attack. 

"Yesterday, Kautikari suffered yet another tragic attack. Terrorists struck once more, taking innocent lives,” Daniel Nyadar wrote.

"Six d3aths have been confirmed, though some sources report the casualties may exceed ten. 

"Among the deceased is a young man whose wedding was scheduled for tomorrow, April 1st, 2026, a heartbreaking reminder of the futures stolen from us.

"Kautikari is not just a town; it is a fortress shielding Chibok and Askira. If these attackers succeed in breaking through here, the defense of those towns will be gravely compromised.

"This morning, our people awoke in grief and disbelief. Even as families laid their loved ones to rest. We have cried out repeatedly for help, yet our pleas continue to fall on deaf ears.

 "We call on every authority to take their responsibility seriously. This attack was not random, it deliberately targeted key individuals who have stood in defense of our community.

"May the souls of our departed brothers rest in peace. And may justice be brought swiftly to all those involved in this heinous act.
