Boko Haram ambush kills up to 150 in Nigeria

‘Up to 150 people have been shot dead or drowned in a river in northeastern Nigeria while fleeing violence by the Boko Haram Takfiri terrorists.

Witnesses and local residents said on Tuesday that Boko Haram militants on motorcycles and in a car attacked the remote village of Kukuwa-Gari in the violence-hit Yobe State on August 13.

“They opened fire instantly, which forced residents to flee. They shot a number of people. Unfortunately many residents who tried to flee plunged into the river, which is full from the rain. Many drowned,” AFP quoted Modu Balumi, a resident of the village, as saying. “By our latest toll we have 150 people either (shot dead) or drowned in the attack. The gunmen deliberately killed a fisherman who tried to save drowning residents of the village.”

Witnesses said the bodies of many of the drowned were pulled out by locals several kilometers away.’
