An eye witness, Abdullahi Mohammed, who sustained gunshot during the incident and currently receiving treatment at the Federal Medical Centre in Gombe said that the trouble which began after a group of 'civilian JTF' from Maiduguri, accompanied by soldiers, invaded Biu town, in search of Boko Haram terrorist suspects.
"Allhadulillahi. I am still alive. I was shot on my chest by soldiers, but Allhadulillahi, the medical doctors here have removed the bullet from my body.
"The civilian JTF in Biu asked those that came from Maidguri to leave the town, because their presence in the town is likely to cause more harm than good to residents," Mohammed said.
According to him, it was the process that led to a fight between the two youth groups, leading to the death five persons.
"I saw five dead bodies before Iwas rushed to FMC in Gombe. It is possible the casualty figure may be more than five, because only two of us survived. I can't tell where other dead bodies were deposited," he added.
Efforts to communicate with the Military JTF failed as GSM telecommunications in Borno State remain grounded.
