“We received distress calls from our members in Wasada village, some of 30 kilometers from Uba that they were under siege. We went there but nothing was left, as the village had been razed. We found two corpses lying on ground and many villagers with gunshot wounds,” he said.
“I can tell you that many are still missing. Our men are on patrol, as we speak, in the hope that they could rescue more villagers.”
The army is yet to react to the latest attacks.
There have been renewed attacks since the government claimed to have negotiated the release of 21 abducted Chibok school girls and release of some Boko Haram commanders which multiple sources point to.
