At least four internally displaced persons (IDPs) were killed, while two were abducted during an attack in Dalori, Maiduguri, Borno state capital, on Sunday.

Dalori camp is one kilometer to the University of Maiduguri (UNIMAID), which has recorded four attacks in the last one month.

Babagana Umar, one of the IDPs, told TheCable that the four victims killed in the attack were his friends.

“Me and ten of my friends went to the outskirts of Dalori to farm, unfortunately, we were attacked by Boko Haram terrorists,” he said.

“As I am talking to you four of our friends were slaughtered while two were taken away. Only four of us escaped.

“I ran to inform soldiers at the check point but they did not respond. My friends were still no were to be found.”

Dalori and Konduga communities have witnessed a high rate of attacks and abductions in recent times.

Boko Haram has stepped up attacks since two weeks ago when 82 Chibok girls were released after three years in captivity.

The authorities are yet to react to the latest attack.
