More Shocking
details on latest Boko Haram raids on Borno communities became available on
June 4, 2014, Wednesday. Local security sources claimed that at least 91 people
lost their lives in separate Tuesday’s attacks.According to reports Boko Haram militants launched a number of bloody and
well-coordinated attacks in Gwoza Local Government Area.The
terrorists invaded Aganjara, Agapalawa, Attagara and Ngoshe villages driving
military-style vehicles, including an armoured personnel carrier. The attackers
were also dressed in uniforms.
Many locals have initially thought that the gunmen were the soldiers of the
Nigerian Army. The militants have reportedly order the villagers, which they
were able to spot, to line up. Then the terrorists opened fire on the helpless
and unsuspecting victims. The death toll of such a vicious attack is likely to
hit 100 people.An undisclosed resident, who talked to the newsmen via phone,
narrated that two of his relatives have miraculously escaped manslaughter in
the village of Attagara.The survivors were able to run into the bush and hide
there. They spent the whole day there hiding from Boko Haram and attempted to
sneak back to the settlement only after the environment got more or less quite.
It would be added that at least 9 worshippers lost
their lives in Boko Haram attack on a church in the same village on June 1,
2014, Sunday.It has been gathered that Gulumba village, near Bama, and Ngoshe
community were under siege as well. Boko Haram gunmen have reportedly shot
everyone on sight there.At least nine people were shot dead, buildings were
razed in Ngoshe. Many people were declared missing. They might have fled to Cameroon for
safety.Three village heads and one ward head were among the causalities of
Tuesday’s attacks in Borno.
