At least 31 people have been reported dead after Boko Haram terrorists this morning launched a surprise rocket propelled attack on Soye village in Bama Local Government Area of Borno State, North-East Nigeria. Several others were reported injured in the attack.
A breaking news in Elombah.com said that some government officials have already visited the area, among them the Chairman of Bama Local Government Area, Baba Shehu.
The LG boss is said to have sympathised with the victims and decried the helplessness of security agents to defend the people despite the state of emergency imposed on Borno and the neighbouring states of Yobe and Adamawa for over a year now.
