JTF Boko Haram Raid, 5 killed in Biu Town, Borno

NOT less than five persons died when two factions of youths popularly called Civilian Joint Task Force (JTF) clashed in Biu, in a raid on Boko Haram terrorists, one of the survivor told the Nigerian Tribune.

Biu is about 185 kilometres away from Maiduguri, Borno State capital, and has witnessed series of killings and bombings by suspected Boko Haram terrorists.

Abdullahi Mohammed, who sustained gunshot injury during the incident and currently receiving treatment at the Federal Medical Centre (FMC) in Gombe, confirmed the incident to newsmen.

“Allhadulillahi. I am still alive. I was shot on my chest by soldiers, but Allhadulillahi, the medical doctors here have successfully removed the bullet from my body,” Mohammed said.

According to him, trouble started when a group of civilian JTF from Maiduguri, accompanied by soldiers, invaded Biu town, in search of Boko Haram terrorists.

“The civilian JTF in Biu asked those that came from Maiduguri to leave the town, because their presence in the town is likely to cause more harm than good to residents,” he said. - Tribune
