Residents of Musaram 1 and 2 villages of Monguno local government area of Borno state in the northeast, who ran to Maiduguri, the Borno state capital on Wednesday have reported that 48 residents were shot dead by the dreaded Islamic sect, Boko Haram in a latest attack.
The locals who brought some of their wounded relatives to the State specialists hospital in Maiduguri told newsmen that, the suspected Boko Haram sect, came through the lake Chad from the Chad Republic to attack their villages.
They said when the insurgents arrived, they asked all the men in the villages to move to one side before they opened fire on them, killing 48 at the spot while several others were left in the pool of their blood.
One of the locals, Sanusi Umar told our correspondent that, some of the injured they brought to the hospital include some members of his immediate family, adding that a lot more were left behind with their relatives struggling to bring them to the hospital in order to save lives.
“We wonder how they got into the towns and into our villages despite the presence of security officials at the border. This explains that, we are not safe in the hands of these insurgents and the government seem not to be doing enough to ensure the safety of our people.” Umar said.
