The Boko Haram bully boyz attacked the home of a police inspector, Malam Jibrin, in Buni Yadi town, Gujba Local Government Area, killing his two sons and setting their corpses and the house on fire, it was learnt.
The attack occurred in the early hours of Monday, around 1am in the Shuwari Baban Layi area of the town.
Jibrin, who serves as the crime officer at the Buni Yadi cop shoppe, managed to escape by scaling the fence of his house, according to Daily Trust.
Enraged by his escape, the Death Eaters turned on his two sons, aged 25 and 27, slaughtered them, and then set their bodies and the house ablaze.
''They arrived around 1am and operated uninterrupted until 1:54am. The situation has caused a lot of panic among residents,'' the source said.
A local vigilante revealed that the attackers are believed to be operating from the Buk and Talala areas, about 30 kilometers east of Buni Yadi.
''As it is now, nobody dares go up to the Damboa axis. Everybody, including the military, is aware of their presence,'' he said.
''It was the same area where they ambushed the military last month and killed an army commandant, along with several soldiers and vigilantes.''
Residents of Buni Yadi, the hometown of Governor Mai Mala Buni, expressed fear over the worsening security situation.
''People can no longer sleep with their eyes closed,'' said Muhammad Garba, a resident. ''With what is happening on the roads and within the town, nowhere is safe.''
