Over 40 persons were killed by Boko Haram invaders on Tuesday evening in Konduga town in Borno State. The sect burnt down several houses and a secondary school. The authorities were forced to down that institution.
A military reinforcement has now reached Konduga and taken over the security situation in the area. The militants arrived in dozens at about 5:30 pm yesterday and launched multiple attacks on civilians as they chanted 'Allahuakubar' and other Islam-related words. They did their damage and left with no resistance from the security agencies. Borno State is under emergency rule. The insurgents also took 20 young girls from a local college hostage, a teacher said. The military confirmed the attack took place but said it was still assessing the number of casualties.
