Boko Haram Launches Fresh Attack In Borno

Insurgent members have reportedly opened fire on residents in a remote area of Borno State, as they tried to flee into neighbouring Cameroon.

A witness said scores of Boko Haram sect members riding in armoured vehicles carried out the attack on Monday. 

"They have burnt the market, customs office, police station and almost every shop in the town and killed many people but I can’t say how many" said Musa Abba, a resident of Gamboru Ngala, a statement supported by several others. "They have taken over the whole town".
