Boko Haram Slaughters Another 44 In Mid Night Operation

In yet another reprisal attack by insurgents, gunmen said to be members of the Boko Haram sect on Tuesday night slaughtered no fewer than 44 people at Dumba village on the outskirts of Baga town, in Kukawa Local Government Area of Borno State.

"As am speaking to you now, Red cross officials and the San Medicine Frontier are attending to the injured victims,” a rescue worker with a federal government agency who does not want to be named said.

According to him, the village has been deserted, as the people are now taking refuge at the Baga central primary school.
