Presently, there is pandemonium in Chibok community in Borno State over a threatening letter sent to the town by the Boko Haram Islamic sect.

The group hinted that it would storm the town again just as it did when over 200 students of Government Girls Secondary School were seized on April 15, 2014 under the nose of the military.

The terrorist group, in a letter it purportedly wrote, noted that the town will be attacked very soon. This has now caused panic as residents now live in fear.
