EKO HOT BLOG reports that a terrorist group suspected of belonging to the ISWAP organization on Wednesday evening stormed Gaidam local government area in Yobe State and burnt down a technical college in the town.
The attack claimed the lives of twin brothers. One of the victims died on the scene, while the other is still being treated at an unnamed hospital.
This attack, which occurred around 9 p.m., comes just over a year after terrorists attacked the town, killing several residents.
Sources revealed that the militants arrived on foot from several areas on Wednesday and wreaked havoc, including setting fire to the Technical College Gaidam.
Gaidam is the home town of the immediate past governor, now Senator Ibrahim Geidam located north of Yobe state.
Confirming the incident, Executive Chairman of Geidam, Hon Ali Kolo said that the armed insurgents killed, and invaded some parts of the council with the destruction of properties worth millions of naira.
Although he said, he was in Saudi Arabia for the lesser hajj, it is unfortunate for him to have received a distress call on the renewed attack, even as he said, details on casualty are still sketchy.
“Based on the information at my disposal, Boko Haram has so far killed invaded Gaidam and razed down some structures including Technical College Gaidam when I am in Saudi Arabia for the lesser hajj
“I also gathered that twin brothers were among victims of the casualty.”
