Boko Haram has again attacked
Rann, a town in Kala Balge local government area in Borno state, Nigeria.
The insurgents destroyed the only
healthcare centre in the frequently attacked region of the local government,
UNICEF clinic.
Sources within the local
government area revealed that the Nigerian army repelled the insurgents after a
fierce gun battle.
Mijin Yawa, a resident of
Kalabalge who also confirmed the attack, said the insurgents stormed the town
with various caliber of weapons, Anti air craft guns and mounted trucks.
“There may be a lot of casualties
but from what i am hearing, the soldiers have repelled the attack and are dealing
with the terrorist,” Yawa said.
“I was told that some villagers
fleeing the attack were also wounded during cross fire”.
Another sources who prove
anonymity, said the whole Rann village was thrown into confusion as many
resident scampered for safety in the bush.
Rann local government is housing
over thousands of IDPs, who are supported by International Non-Governmental
Organisation(NGOs).
The insurgents attacked the town
in March this year, killed many security personnels and abducted three aid workers.
Calls to Sani Usman, the army
spokesman, did not get through and his text messages were not returned.
