According to the online medium, a military source said the Nigeria’s army 117 battalion stationed in Chibok were getting set to move into Kaumutiyahi.

Kaumutiyahi is at least 13 kilometres away from Chibok.

“There is actually a company of Army about 6 kilometres from the village under attack, but they would need the support of the larger battalion,” the source was quoted to have said.

It was gathered that in December, the insurgents attacked Makalama, a village in Gatamawarwa ward. Bwalakia villagers were also attacked three days after the Makalama attack, burning houses and leaving villagers stranded.

“They looted and burnt everything we have. We don’t have what to eat and we don’t have where to sleep,” one of the victims said.

In November, Abubakar Elkanemi, Shehu of Borno, had said the people of the state were still under Boko Haram siege.

The Cable said the Army spokesman, Sagir Musa, had not responded to a message seeking information on the recent attack as at the time of filing the report.
