Nigeria: Terrorists give a three-day ultimatum for eight wards of Benishiekh to leave their communities, killing three in Konduga
By: Our Reporter
Villagers in about eight communities in the Kaga local government area of Borno State, Northeast Nigeria, have been issued a warning by terrorists operating in the area to vacate their communities in three days or face annihilation.
Locals have since been relocating to Benishiekh, the headquarters of the Kaga local government, following the warning, which was said to last on Tuesday.
According to the villagers, the terrorists accused them of betraying them by not reporting to them about the security operatives recent activities in which several attacks were carried out, resulting in the dessimination of terrorists in the area.
“Our people are fleeing their homes as we speak. The terrorists are not far away from the Maiduguri and Damaturu roads. The villagers are aware of their presence, and they could strike at anytime. Now that they have asked them to leave, they had better leave because we know what these terrorist groups have done in this local government.” A source told newsmen in Maiduguri.
In another development, three people were reportedly killed when a group of terrorists attacked a village in the Konduga local government area of Borno State.
The incident that occurred on Sunday evening triggers fear amongst the village and adjacent communities.
This is coming less than 24 hours after terrorists operating along Maiduguri attacked Damaturu on Saturday evening, attacking Governor Mai Mala Buni’s convoy conveying state officials and security personnel back to Damaturu after the 24th Convocation ceremony held at the University of Maiduguri, which the governor attended.
A police officer was killed in the attack, with seven others reportedly injured.

Troops of the 29 Task Force Brigade have neutralised a suspected intruder during a perimeter patrol in Kaga Local Government Area of Borno State.

The sources stated that the troops sighted a female intruder approaching the defensive perimeter of the position.
The suspect was subsequently neutralised near the parapet during the operation.
Military authorities said the patrol was completed successfully without any further security incident.
Ngamdu, located along a strategic corridor in Kaga Local Government Area, has remained an area of security interest due to ongoing counter-insurgency operations in the North-East.

Two teenage girls believed to be family members of ISWAP terrorists have surrendered to troops of the Nigerian Army in Pulka, Gwoza Local Government Area of Borno State.
Military sources disclosed that the girls, identified as Tata Ahmodu, 16, and Adama Abubakar, 14, surrendered at about 1:35 p.m. on June 19 to troops of the 192 Battalion (Mechanised) deployed at Forward Operating Base Pulka.
According to preliminary findings, the teenagers escaped from a terrorist enclave in the Jongo area around the Dure general area within the Sambisa Forest axis.
The escapees reportedly told troops that sustained military pressure and lack of basic necessities within the camp contributed to their decision to flee the terrorist enclave.
Following their surrender, the girls were screened, documented and taken into custody by military authorities for further investigation and necessary action.
Security officials said the development reflects ongoing pressure on terrorist groups in the North-East, which continues to yield defections, surrenders and rescues of vulnerable persons.
They added that efforts are ongoing to sustain operations aimed at degrading terrorist capabilities and restoring normalcy in affected communities.
