Boko Haram strikes again, completely destroy Borno village

Izghe Village: Now in total ruins

Suspected Boko Haram gunmen on Sunday returned to a village in northeast Nigeria where 106 people were killed February 15th, torching homes, shooting and setting off explosives, a local official said.

The latest attack in Izghe, Borno state, happened at about 1:00 am (0000 GMT) and forced residents who had returned to the village after the Ferbuary 15 deadly strike to flee again.

Izghe is in Gwoza district of Borno but its residents have closer ties with Madagali due to its proximity and ethnic allegiances.
