An attack, described as
massive by residents, is currently ongoing in Kautikari village, seven
kilometres away from Chibok town in

Villagers in Chibok made a distress call to journalists and security operatives in Maiduguri calling for urgent help.
A
text message sent by a resident at about 9:30 a.m. reads; “Massive
attack on Kautikari now. All security agencies should be notified, and
call for divine help now.”
An official of Department of Security Service confirmed the ongoing attack to PREMIUM TIMES but asked not to be named.
“Yes,
we also received the report, I believe action is being taken about
now…but no one has been able to ascertain the nature or magnitude of the
attack for now”, said the security source.
The extremist Boko Haram sect has continued to attack villages in Borno and neighbouring states, killing defenceless civilians.
