Boko Haram insurgents have burnt down the palace of the Emir of Askira in Askira-Uba local government area of Borno state, northeast Nigeria, the spokesman of the youth vigilante group, Jubrin Gunda, said on Tuesday,
Speaking to our correspondent on phone from Maiduguri, the Borno state
capital, Gunda said the palace was attacked by the insurgents on Sunday
night.
He said during the Sunday's attack the palace was razed by the terrorist sect.
He lamented that after beating a retreat on Sunday, the insurgents came
back to Askira on Monday morning to continue the reign of terror as
they burnt down some other houses and killed many residents of the town.
He said: "As at now I cannot tell you the number of people killed but
all I can say is that the palace of the emir was razed on Sunday by the
insurgents at night, they equally returned to burn more houses in the
town on Monday morning."
