40 Killed In Fresh Boko Haram Attack In Borno

About forty have been reportedly killed on Wednesday in a fresh attack by gunmen on a border community in Borno State.

The gunmen were said to have arrived at Gurmushi, Marte Local Government Area and opened fire on the residents in their houses and those on their way to the mosque for Subhi, an early morning Muslim prayer.

Sources in Maiduguri told journalists that the gunmen believed to be Boko Haram insurgents, also razed down houses in the village before fleeing.

One of the sources said, “I counted over 40 corpses littered on the ground, while the village was razed down completely, most of us ran into the bush for our safety.”

The source also told the British Broadcasting Corporation on the telephone that 12 persons were injured in the siege.

She said that many other residents of the village fled to a Cameroon settlement for fear of a repeat attack by the insurgents.

This claim could not however be verified from the military or police authorities in the state at the time of filing this report.

A military source told journalists that the incident had not been reported to the security and military people in Maiduguri.
