Another Boko Haram Attack Leaves 97 Dead In Kukawa by dayo23(f): 2:50am On Jul 04, 2015 |
No less than 97 people were killed and several others injured when Boko Haram terrorists attacked Kukawa town of Kukawa local government area of Borno State. A resident of Kukawa, Alhaji Abor Babagana, who fled to Maiduguri, said over 50 suspected members of Boko Haram stormed Kukawa town at about 6.30pm on Tuesday and open fire on people killing 97, while several others were injured. He said “The terrorists first descended on Muslim worshippers in various mosques, who were observing the Magrib prayers shortly after breaking their fast. The insurgents rounded up about four different community mosques and opened fire on the worshippers who are mostly men and children. “They spared nobody; in fact, while some of the terrorists waited and set most of the corpses on fire, others proceeded to houses and shot indiscriminately at women who were preparing food,” he added. Another bereaved resident who lost his uncle, Garba Kolomi said “They wiped out the immediate family of my uncle. They killed his children, about five of them and set his entire house ablaze”. A fisherman from the area, Alhaji Saleh Idi, who corroborated that 97 people had been killed, alleged that the attackers spent over four hours without any attempt by security forces to intervene. “There was no single soldier in Kukawa when the terrorists came around 6.30pm. The soldiers were in Kuros-Kawwa which is just 11 kilometers away. The terrorists stole assorted food from houses and homes and then set everything ablaze. They left around 11 pm,” he said. Kukawa which is about 178 kilometres away from Maiduguri was severely attacked in 2014, a situation which forced most residents to flee to Maiduguri and other villages across the Lake Chad. Most of the locals, especially the fishermen and farmers among them returned to the ancient town early this year. Another resident of Kukawa Alhaji Audu Kukawa told our correspondent that the insurgents came in Hilux vehicles. He said “I personally counted 97 corpses and as I am speaking to you, we have not buried the dead ones”. http://dailypost.ng/2015/07/03/another-boko-haram-attack-leaves-97-dead-in-kukawa/

If I could lay my hands on Buhari I will strangle him till he dies. What a Dullard we have as our C-in-C. Imagine the mess these idiots have put us in. It's only a matter of time before Boko Haram will extend their attacks down South. Please let us arm ourselves with weapons of all sorts and the determination that Buhari's Boko Haram will never find a safe operating base in the SS & SE. Buhari and Osibanjo are bastards. |
