A recent attack by suspected Boko Haram terrorists has resulted in the reported deaths of no fewer than nine people in Buni Gari, Gujba Local Government Area of Yobe State.
The attack was discovered when a resident named Shettima Dawi went to scout for firewood but did not return home, prompting his relatives and neighbors to search for him in the bush. However, they were subsequently attacked by the suspected insurgents.
