Security sources said surviving traders at Ngurosoye market had to flee
for their lives when a heavy sound of explosion was heard at the centre
of the market.
According to Ngurosoye villagers, 16 persons were killed as a result of
explosives devices planted by Boko Haram inside a market while ten others
died after an air force fighter jet allegedly in its effort to repel
attacks fired indiscriminately into another Village of Kayamla , Konduga
Local government.
A villager of Kayamla said the airforce jet had opened fire on villagers
days after they had reported that some Boko Haram gunmen had camped in
the village Primary School after the attack on the military barracks in
Maiduguri on Friday.
“We told the military people that after that attack on the barracks in
Maiduguri, some of the Boko Haram terrorists passed through our village,
Gambori, and went to Kayamla where they chased the people out of the
village and camped at the primary school till Saturday”, Alhaji Lawan a
community leader.
“We sighted them cooking and eating all night, so we had to inform the
military that these group of terrorists were camping in Kayamla; but no
one turned up. Until about five days later that we saw a fighter jet
coming to shoot at innocent villagers, long after the Boko Haram had left.
We regretted giving such kind of intelligence or information to the
military, because it has cost us the lives of our 10 innocent people”.
“We still do not understand why soldiers don’t chase the Boko Haram into
their hideouts, up till now we have them Boko Haram terrorists attacking
our villages. Just three days ago, they attacked a small village called
Yawal near Konduga town, and killed a young man and stole away about 36
cows”, the Villager revealed.
