Suspected Boko Haram insurgents have reportedly invaded Dapchi, the headquarters of Bursari Local Government Area of Yobe State.
According to reports, the assailants stormed the community yesterday at about 11 p.m.
DAILY POST exclusively spoke to a resident who pleaded anonymity.
Speaking from an undisclosed location, he said, “Boko Haram terrorists invaded our community yesterday at about 11 pm. They burnt three telecommunication masts, a police station, a hospital ambulance, and a primary healthcare facility, carted away motorcycles, and snatched phones from locals.”
According to him, the assailants spent three hours operating in the town unchallenged.
“The town currently has no telecommunication services. As we speak, I have to go to a neighbouring community to get network service,” the source added.
As of the time of filing this report, the army and police have yet to issue an official statement on the reported attack.
This is the second time suspected Boko Haram terrorists have attacked the community in less than a month, with the last attack occurring on April 4, 2026.
