Terrorists under the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), have again, attacked Gujba in Yobe State, killing four policemen.
This was contained in a statement by ISWAP, sighted by SaharaReporters.
The group allegedly mocked the Nigerian army, claiming soldiers refused to leave their military base to defend the town while they operated for many hours.
The insurgents caused havoc, burning some United Nation facilities, houses and cars in the community.
A military source confirmed the attack, saying the terrorists invaded the community in vans.
The source said, “Yes, it’s true. They attacked the community last week. They came in different vans and drove straight to the company constructing the 40km Gujba-Mutai Road.
“That was where they killed the police officers. I saw two officers though, I was told one member of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) was killed as well. Then they started burning the company’s heavy-duty machines on the site.
“From there, they moved back to the community where they looted the Red Cross and USAID offices and burnt the facilities.”
