Boko Haram gunmen killed dozens of people, on Tuesday, in raids on four villages in northeast Nigeria, near Monguno in Borno state, slitting the throats of some residents and opening fire on others. The state police confirmed the attacks.
Sheriff Kulo, from Kilwa village near Monguno, who escaped to Maiduguri, said, “Boko Haram gunmen came into our villages at night, killing 43 people. In Kilwa alone, they killed seven people, including the village head and left one seriously injured with a fracture on his leg. They then proceeded to Gwollam, Misala and Magaram, where they did the same thing. In all they killed 43. They opened fire on residents and in some cases they used knives to slaughter their victims. Many women and children fled to Monguno but were living in the open air with little food. Others made it to Maiduguri to raise the alarm.”
The Borno state police commissioner, Aderemi Padokun, confirmed the attacks saying, “From what we heard, the gunmen raided these villages. They shot dead their victims and in some cases slit their throats. They also carted away foodstuffs and livestock. We don’t have details of the actual number of people killed in the attack but I can confirm it happened.” omojuwa.
