The incident occurred on the night of Monday, September 29, 2025, when the insurgents infiltrated the community, which borders Cameroon. According to reports, the attackers opened fire, killing two individuals and injuring one other. In addition to the fatalities, the militants set the district head's palace ablaze, causing significant damage. Many residents, fearing for their safety, fled to neighboring Cameroon, especially after the departure of Cameroonian soldiers who had previously provided protection.
This attack highlights the persistent insecurity in northeastern Nigeria, particularly in Borno State, which has been a hotspot for Boko Haram activities. The targeting of traditional institutions, such as the district head's palace, underscores the militants' strategy to destabilize local governance and instill fear among the populace.
🌍 Borno State has witnessed numerous attacks by Boko Haram and its splinter group, the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), over the years. These groups have been responsible for thousands of deaths and the displacement of millions of people. Despite military efforts to combat the insurgency, such attacks continue to disrupt communities and challenge the state's authority.
