I'm sure you have been reading about all the killings by Boko Haram in recent days in the northern part of the country. They go to homes, roads and ends up killing people.
Yesterday 142 bodies were discovered and evacuated from the road and surrounding bushes in Borno state officials from the Environmental Protection Agency Borno State (BOSEPA) after they were ambushed travelers, vehicles removed from the road and killed in Maiduguri / Damaturu on Tuesday, September 17 by members of Boko Haram who dressed as soldiers and set up checkpoints.
Officials said they believe more bodies still have not been to find, but plans to keep looking.
The gunmen, said to be over 300 in number, also broke Benisheikh city in the state of Borno on Wednesday, killing civilians, soldiers, policemen and setting houses, cars and motorcycles on fire.
The military post in the area and the local government secretariat were also attacked with rocket-propelled grenades.
The governor promised to those who lost loved ones or property N250, 000 each in compensation and promised to rebuild the destroyed city. He described the attack as barbaric and un-Islamic.
The attack is believed to be a retaliation for a military attack on a camp of Boko Haram last week that left nearly 150 dead members.
