Gunmen suspected to be Boko Haram insurgents are currently attacking Geidam local government area of Yobe State.

Sources within Geidam told Daily Trust that the insurgents invaded the town after Maghrib prayer.

Muhammad Nura, a resident, said security operatives, had not responded to distress calls as of the time this report was filed.

“We are now hiding indoors with all the family members, thank God they are all home. I am short of words, we just need your prayers, the last attack is still fresh in our memory and in less than one month they launched another attack again”

“Our security formation are doing their best because we could also hear gunshots from their side but that is not enough government should do something about our town before they chase all of us away,” he said.

ASP Dungus Abdulkarim, Police Public Relations Officer in Yobe, could not be reached for comment as of the time this report was filed.
