Residents kill four fleeing B’Haram members

Residents of Guyuk town in Adamawa State
on Monday killed four suspected armed Boko
Haram members.
Guyuk, the headquarters of Guyuk Local
Government Area of Adamawa State shares
border with Borno State.
An eyewitness, Mallam Aminu Buba Usman,
in a telephone interview with our
correspondent from Guyuk, said, “The Boko
Haram members are suspected to be parts of
insurgents who had earlier attacked Gombi
and found their way through Guyuk.
“The local hunters in the area were alerted to
the presence of the insurgents in the area,
approaching the gate of the Guyuk town. The
hunters ambushed them and killed four of
them instantly,” Usman said.
According to him, guns and cartridges were
recovered from the insurgents, who were
riding two motorcycles.
He stated that the local hunters engaged the
insurgents in a fierce gun battle, leading to
the death of all the suspects.
The insurgents had, in the late hours of
Sunday, attacked Zangola village in Hong
Local Government Area and Gombi town.
According to eyewitnesses, the insurgents
looted properties worth millions of Naira and
burnt shops in Gombi town.
However, the number of casualties in the
attack by the insurgents as of the time of
writing this report had yet to be known.
