Suspected Boko Haram terrorists stormed Goza town in Goza Local Government Area of Borno State, on Saturday, disrupting voting exercise.
This is as per Daily Trust, citing the Emir of Goza, Mohammed Shehu Timta.
“Boko Haram insurgents launched attack into the heart of the town, shooting sporadically. Five people sustained injuries. The injured have been taken to Maiduguri for medical attention.
“They came around 8:30am, so voters had lined-up for accreditation when the incident occurred, many voters that scampered for safety have not returned while we are making efforts to convince them to return,” the monarch told the paper, adding, “DIG of police in charge of North East, who is from Goza, was here and things are now under control.”
Goza is the hometown of one of a ranking senatot, Ali Ndume, who is currently seeking reelection.
