A gruesome attack occurred in Buni Yadi town, Gujba LGA of Yobe State, where suspected Boko Haram terrorists broke into the house of Police Inspector Malam Jibrin, killing his two sons and setting their corpses and the house ablaze. According to a security source close to the family, the incident happened on Monday morning around 1 am at Shuwari Baban Layi area of the town. Inspector Jibrin, the crime officer of Buni Yadi station, was in the house when the terrorists arrived but managed to escape by scaling the fence. The source stated, “Fortunately, he scaled the fence and escaped. Infuriated by that, the insurgents slaughtered his two sons, aged 25 and 27 years, and set their corpses and the house ablaze.” The terrorists operated uninterrupted from 1 am to 1:54 am, leaving residents in a state of panic. A vigilante revealed that the insurgents responsible for the attack live in the Buk and Talala area, approximately 30 km east of Buni Yadi. He noted, “As it is now, nobody dares go up to the Damboa axis. Everybody, including the military, are aware. It was the same area where they ambushed the military last month and killed the army commandant and an unspecified number of soldiers and vigilantes.” Residents of Buni Yadi, neighboring the hometown of Governor Mai Mala Buni, expressed their concerns about the safety of the area. Muhammad Garba, a resident, said, “Now, people cannot sleep with their eyes closed, because with what is happening recently on the road and within the town, nowhere is safe.”
