Some residents of Takulashi community who fled to Chibok said the insurgents were armed and fired into houses.
Speaking to newsmen, a resident, Bitrus Ali said: “They were not many, but were very armed, shooting and threatening to kill everybody, but we had fled before they came. They set fire on our houses, even throwing bombs into houses. They burnt down more than 60 houses.”
