“Yes, I can confirm to you that our village (Kautikari) in the Chibok Local Government Area is under Boko Haram attack.
“Our people are scampering for safety, even as two schools (primary and day secondary school) are on fire,” a local resident was quoted to have said.
The police could not be reached immediately for confirmation of the situation.
