Boko Haram Terrorists Gun Down Pastor, 2 Hunters In Borno

Boko Haram terrorists have killed a pastor, two hunters and other civilians in Tarfa Village, Biu Local Government Area of Borno state.

Tarfa is a remote village of Biu that borders Hawul local government area of Borno State.

Confirming the incident, the North East Chairman and Commander of Hunters/ Vigilantes, Mallam Shawulu Yohanna, said the incident around 4pm, on Wednesday.

“It is unfortunate that some terrorists invaded Tarfa village of Biu local government area last Wednesday.”

“Two of my members were killed including a Pastor attached to the Church of the Brethren a.k.a E.Y.N church in Hausa parlance, as well as other two civilians,” he said.

He explained that six hunters working directly under him engaged the terrorists but were overwhelmed by their firepower.

“The attackers invaded the community when most people had returned back from their farmlands to harvest groundnuts, beans and other crops.

“In fact, the deceased Pastor (Name withheld) who returned from his farm at about 4:pm was scared by the sound of gunshots and rushed outside his home from where the terrorists shot him dead” he said.

Efforts to speak to the spokesman, Borno State command, ASP Nahum Kenneth Daso, were not possible as his phone was not going through, and the text messages sent were not replied. (Daily trust)
