I'm sure you guys have been reading about all
the killings perpetuated by Boko Haram in the
past few days in the Northern part of the
country. They are going to homes, highways and
just killing people.
Just yesterday 142 bodies were discovered and
evacuated from the highway and surrounding
bushes in Borno state by officials of the Borno
State Environmental Protection Agency
(BOSEPA) after travelers were ambushed,
removed from their cars and killed on the
Maiduguri/Damaturu highway on Tuesday Sept
17th by Boko Haram members who dressed up
as soldiers and set up checkpoints.
The officials said they believe there are more
bodies they are yet to find but plan to keep
searching.
The gunmen, said to be over 300 in number, also
stormed Benisheikh town in Borno state on
Wednesday, killing civilians, soldiers, policemen
and setting houses, cars and motor cycles
ablaze.
The military post in the area and the local
government secretariat were also attacked with
rocket-propelled grenades.
The governor of the state promised people who
lost loved ones or property N250,000 each as
compensation and promised to rebuild the
destroyed town. He described the attack as
barbaric and un-Islamic.
The attack is believed to be in retaliation of a
military strike on a Boko Haram camp last week
that left about 150 members dead.
