Boko Haram terrorists attacked the Awapul community in Chibok Local Government Area of Borno State early on Sunday.
The terrorists arrived on motorcycles around 1.30am.
They fired shots for more than an hour before they burnt houses and shops.
The spokesperson for the Borno State Police Command, ASP Nahum Daso, confirmed the attack and said no one died.
“There was an attack this morning around 1.30am in Chibok Local Government, in a village called Awapul,” he said.
“No casualties. It was a destruction of properties.”
Residents said the terrorists stayed in the area for more than an hour.
One resident, who asked not to be named, told how some people left their homes after the attack.
“They burned down houses and shops,” he said.
“Some owners have gone to Chibok main town to take refuge.”
The resident called on the government to act. “Our plea is simple—not food or clothes.
What we need is protection so we can go about our daily activities,” he added.
After the attack ended, the focus turned to safety.
Residents who fled now live with relatives or friends in the main town while they wait for more security in their community.
