Fresh terror struck Kwapul community in Chibok Local Government Area, Borno State, as suspected insurgents carried out a late-night raid on Saturday that extended into the early hours of Sunday.
SaharaReporters learnt that the insurgents set a church and several homes ablaze in what residents described as a coordinated attack on the predominantly Christian settlement.
Although no lives were reported lost, the assault left families displaced and traumatised, with growing calls for urgent security intervention.
Locals said the “attackers operated for hours without resistance,” underscoring fears that rural populations remain highly vulnerable despite years of counterinsurgency efforts.
The attack comes at a sensitive time, as Christian communities observe the Easter season, a period that has repeatedly been targeted in Nigeria’s conflict-prone regions.
