In a fresh attack, the activities of the dreaded Boko Haram sect has led to the death of no fewer than 30 people in a Borno village
Another Boko Haram siege has led to the death of over 30 people in a fresh attack on Friday, July 3, following Wednesday massacres of no fewer than 142 persons in Borno state.
The Boko Haram insurgents invaded mosques and homes on Wednesday, shooting people dead at sight and butchering others.
Up to 50 armed men on motorbikes were said to have invaded the Mussa village in the Friday attacks, shooting villagers and burning their homes, survivor Bitrus Dangana told AFP.
“They killed six people in the village and they chased the inhabitants into the bush, firing at them… 25 people were killed in the bush,” he said.
Another survivor, Adamu Bulus, confirmed 31 people were murdered.
It was the fourth time that Boko Haram had attacked the village in the past year.
