GEIDAM, Yobe State hometown of the Acting Police Inspector General Usman Baba Alkali, has been attacked by terror sect, Boko Haram, sending residents scampering for their lives.

Soldiers reportedly deployed in the town responded with fire. This was after some of the terrorists had set some shops ablaze.
