BREAKING: Boko Haram attacks Geidam town in Yobe


Suspected members of Boko Haram Tuesday evening attacked Geidam, a town in Yobe State.

The attack was still on at press time, at about 6:30 p.m.

The gunshots by the insurgents caused many residents to panic and flee into the bush while others hid in their houses.

A resident, who managed to speak with our Reporter in a terrified voice, said the gunshots were massive.

“The gunshot outside is so much. I can’t talk now please,” the Geidam resident said.

The State police Public Relation Officer, Abdulkarim Dungus, told PREMIUM TIMES that he heard the Divisional Police Officer of Geidam firing from his gun when he tried to contact him.

“I called my DPO in Geidam and he is also under fire. I could hear the gunshot from him. He has promised to call back,” Mr Dungus, an assistant superintendent of police, said.
