Early on Saturday morning, a group of militants attacked a place called Geidam in Yobe State. They belong to a group known as ISWAP, which stands for Islamic State West Africa Province. Sadly, one person from the town lost their life, and there was a lot of damage done, according to different people who shared what they saw.
The attack started around 3:30 in the morning. The militants came into the town and started shooting explosives all over the place, making the people living there very scared.
Some people, who know a lot about fighting back against these kinds of attacks, told a specialist named Zagazola Makama what happened. They said the attackers destroyed things and even set fire to two trucks that belonged to workers from the Nigerian Customs.
The militants also did something very bad at a gravesite. They set it on fire. This grave was for a person named Khalifah Ayiloma, and it was in a place called Kolori Ward.
The attackers did not stop there. They also went to where a 60-year-old man named Dahiru Muhammadu was working as a night guard near a school called Geidam Polytechnic. He was hurt badly because he was shot in the neck. People took him quickly to a hospital nearby called Geidam Specialist Hospital, but sadly, he did not survive.
