Boko Haram Kills 8 Fleeing Villagers In Borno

                                                      
Eight villagers fleeing their communities after Boko Haram terrorists’ invasion have been killed by the insurgents at a village near Maiduguri, Borno State capital, security sources said.

The incident happened at about 3pm yesterday.

The victims, according to a security source, were local Shuwa farmers who managed to escape from their community that was recently visited and taken over by some fleeing Boko Haram insurgents.

But just as they were about celebrating their escape at Jakana village which is located some 50km away from Maiduguri, the terrorists, who were riding motorcycles, arrived the outskirts of the town, rounded them up and summarily shot them dead.

The attack, according to a security officer who witnessed it all, had caused some confusing in Jakana.

The security officer, who sought anonymity, said “It was really unbelievable for all of us when we saw how they rode on bikes at a near neck breaking speed and summarily shot dead the eight villagers who were about entering Jakana.”
