No fewer than 10 loggers were killed and
others were reported missing when suspected
Boko Haram members attacked them in Dikwa
Local Government Area of Borno State on
Thursday, vigilante sources said.
The incident occurred at about 10a.m. in Lura
near Gajibo, about 10 kilometres from Dikwa,
the local government headquarters as they
collected firewood.

A Vigilante source said: “They attacked our
people who went to fetch firewood in Lura
village, some nine kilometres away from Dikwa
town. 10 persons were found lifeless and we
brought their dead bodies to Dikwa from the
families to identify them.
“We buried them in the early hours of Friday
according to Islamic rites. Unfortunately many
are still missing. One of them who survived
the attack, disclosed that many are yet to
return home.”
