According to Thisday, some fleeing residents spoke to journalists on phone, saying over 30 armed Boko Haram fighters on motorcycles stormed Shani on Saturday night. They were said to have thrown bombs at houses.
“The terrorists came at about 8pm and started shooting at everything in sight. The gunshots were deafening and kept approaching my house that I had to run into the bush with my grow up children,” One of the fleeing residents, Elijah Ibrahim was quoted as saying.
“I had to however leave my wife and my little children with her believing they would do them no harm, I slept in the bush with two grown ones and without going back into the town proceeded to Biu this morning,” he explained.
The resident also claimed that the insurgents set houses on fire to force residents out.
A military source in Biu confirmed the attack to Thisday. According to the source, the insurgents burnt down a police station and other public buildings. A telecoms mast was also said to have been destroyed.
The attack on Shani is the third this year. The most recent one was in June, when at least 11 people were killed and the office of the electoral commission razed.

local television station in Nigeria captures the moment a second bomb
ripped through a bustling bus terminal and market frequented by
thousands of people in Nigeria’s central city of Jos.
At least 118 people were killed and dozens more injured when two car bombs exploded at a busy bus terminal and market in Nigeria’s central city of Jos on Tuesday.
The second blast, which was captured on camera by a local television station, came half an hour after the first, killing some of the rescue workers who had rushed to the scene.
Huge plumes of black smoke could be seen rising from the fires that, according to emergency crews, were still burning some eight hours later.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attacks.
