Sharjah 24 – AFP: Terrorists killed two people and kidnapped 20 children in Nigeria's Borno state, where terrorist militants are waging a more than decade-long insurgency, a community leader and two residents said Friday.
Thursday's assault on Piyemi village took place near Chibok town where eight years ago “Boko Haram” abducted more than 200 schoolgirls in an attack that sparked international outcry.
Terrorists from the West Africa Province stormed Piyemi on Thursday afternoon, killing two men and seizing 13 girls and seven boys, according to the residents and the community leader.
The militants dressed in military uniforms started shooting and looting shops in the village and setting homes on fire, residents said.
Military officials were not immediately available to comment on the attack.
But a local Chibok government official confirmed the attack without giving details.
A community leader also gave similar details about the assault and the abducted children.
