Armed terrorists suspected to be members of Boko Haram invaded Kawuri village in the Konduga local government area of Borno state and set ablaze three patrol vehicles belonging to members of the Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF) including another three Armoured Tankers belonging to the military.

Reliable sources stated that the incident which took place on Sunday night also led many residents to flee into the bush for safety.

It was also gathered that as the military engaged the terrorists during the encounter, the attackers were later repelled, as there was no casualty recorded, unfortunately, the fleeing terrorists planted Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) along the Konduga -Kawuri road to prevent any reinforcement of troops from Konduga.

Sources also revealed that as reinforced troops maneuvered their way into Kawuri on the same route successfully, one of the CJTF members, Abba Godori stepped onto the EIDs and was killed instantly on Tuesday morning.

All efforts to get confirmation from the Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Kenneth Daso proved abortive at press time, but one retired Senior Civil servant in the community confirmed the incident, even as he lamented over the renewed attacks on communities in Borno from the beginning of this year.
