Barely 24 hours after gunmen suspected

Logomani villages between Dikwa –
Gamboru Ngala and Cameroon Republic killing over 20 civilians including motorists,
another set of gunmen suspected to be
terrorists over the weekend invaded
villages of Kawuri District and Fori of
Konduga Local Government Area of Borno
state, killing 10 residents including three vigilante youth suspected to be civilian
