Blood Shed: Boko Haram Slays 148 in Fresh Borno Attacks

 

 

Boko Haram Insurgents on Wednesday, July 1, stormed Kukawa town in Kukawa Local Government and Monguno town in Monguno Council of Borno State, killing 148 people.

 

It was gathered that over 68 persons were injured in that attack.

 

A survivor, Aji Bukar, who escaped to Maiduguri, gave a horrific account of how the terrorists surrounded Kukawa and started shooting indiscriminately at the time Muslims were about to break their fast.

 

He said: “We started hearing gunshots all over the town. The terrorists surrounded the town, shooting. Confusion and panic took over the town as people ran helter-skelter. They were confused.”

 

According to him, residents as at yesterday were still afraid to come out to bury the dead.

 

“The village is deserted. Elders are afraid the attackers may return, which has delayed the burial of the victims,” he said.
