The chairman of Chibok Local Government Council, Umar Ibrahim, stated this during a sympathy meeting to the families of the abductees by Governor Babagana Zulum.
He said: “In addition to the 24 people abducted, three persons were killed by the terrorists during separate attacks on three communities.”
The chairman stated 110 buildings made up of 73 houses, 33 shops and four churches were burnt with eight vehicles and three tricycles during the attack.

The Nation checks revealed that 22 women and two men abducted were kidnapped by Boko Haram/ISWAP during the attack.
“We are here in Chibok to commiserate with you, immediate families of our sisters and brothers abducted as well as four of our brothers killed by the Boko Haram terrorists in these unfortunate incidents. We share your pain and we pray this act will not happen again,” Zulum said.
