According to a source who spoke to Punch Newspapers, “What
really happened was that Boko Haram went there. They killed two
motorcycle mechanics and torched some houses. It is not a massive
attack. It was an isolated opportunistic attack, but the Army is on top
of the situation. Troops are on the ground now.”
