At least 10 people were killed in raids by suspected Boko Haram gunmen on two villages, Kwaranglum and Tsaha, both near Chibok. The gunmen, aboard all-terrain vehicles and motorcycles, arrived in Kwaranglum around 7:00 am. The attacks were in apparent reprisal for the killing of eight Boko Haram fighters by a local vigilante in Kwaranglum on 16/06. The attacks were brought to a halt by the deployment of the fighter jets that dropped bombs on the insurgents, which occurred as late as 4pm. Xinhua reports 12 deaths in the raids. |
