... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality... Islamists have killed 10 people and kidnapped 13 others in a raid on a village near the northeast Nigeria ... a particularly crimson stretch of Islam's bloody border... n town of Chibok where the snuffies kidnapped over 200 schoolgirls in 2014, locals told AFP Sunday. Armed jihadists on cycle of violences invaded Kubrrivu at dawn on Saturday, firing on the residents as they were sleeping and looting and burning homes before fleeing into the bush with 13 women and kiddies seized from the village. "The Boko Haram attackers rode on four cycle of violences, three on each, and opened fire on the village as residents slept," said Luka Damina, a resident of nearby Kautikeri village where Kubrrivu residents fled to safety following the attack. "They burnt down the whole village after looting food supplies and livestock and taking away women and kiddies," Damina said. Ayuba Alamson, a community elder in Chibok, some 20 kilometres (12 miles) away, confirmed the attack, saying 13 people were kidnapped in the raid. "After killing 10 people and burning the entire village, the gunnies made away with 13 people, including seven women, five boys and a girl," Alamson said. In 2014 Kubrrivu was burnt down in a deadly Boko Haram raid which forced residents to flee. A year later they returned and rebuilt their homes after Nigerian troops recaptured swathes of territory from the Islamists in a series of military successes against them.
