Boko Haram slit throat of 20 villagers in Borno state

Boko Haram members yesterday June 22nd stormed Debiro village in Hawul LGA of Borno state in trucks and motorcycles, burnt houses and slit the throats of 20 villagers.

A resident of the village who spoke to Sahara Reporters, on condition of anonymity said;

"It was in the afternoon time when we started hearing gunshots and people were running helter-skelter, there was confusion everywhere, some were shot dead and many had their throats slit. We were helpless as our foodstuffs were carted away by the rampaging militants who later burnt down most of the houses in our village. I can't say tell you the correct number of people killed, but at least 20 people including women had their throats slit.''
