Another severe attack rocked again in Borno by the notorious Islamic terrorists Boko Haram. Boko Haram on Tuesday attacked Konduga town in Borno State, killing 53 persons. They also abducted 25 teenage girls and set fire on many houses in the town.
Konduga is a town along Maiduguri-Bama Road and is about 40 kilometres from the state capital, Maiduguri.
The terrorists attacked the only hospital in the town, abducted the medical doctor and carted away drugs and medical equipment.
They also destroyed the town’s central mosque, the palace of the district head, the market and the Abba Ashigar School of Business and Administrative Studies with explosives.
However, residents of the town claimed that over 100 people were killed during the attack, adding that many corpses were still in the bush surrounding the community.
The Borno State Governor, Alhaji Kashim Shettima, who visited the town on Wednesday, broke down in tears during the funeral prayer organised for 33 victims of the attack.
It was learnt that few hours before Shettima’s arrival at the town, 18 corpses had already been buried at the Madarari area of Konduga.
