“Some people said nearly 70 dead persons were taken to the hospital and that over 40 were injured.
“I don’t have the exact figure but it is alarming. I was reliably informed that scores were killed.
“Let me also inform you that suicide bombers hit fleeing villagers.
“Again, Boko Haram fighters in military uniforms killed another set of persons.
