Around 100 bodies were found Friday in a mass grave on the outskirts of the town of Damasak after it was liberated from Boko Haram Islamists, a Chadian army spokesman told AFP.

Soldiers discovered the bodies — some decapitated — under a bridge just outside the town, which was retaken from Boko Haram on March 9 by troops from Chad and Niger.

“There are about 100 bodies spread around under the bridge just outside the town,” said Colonel Azem Bermandoa Agouna, adding that he had visited the scene himself close to the border with Niger.

He claimed the massacre probably happened about two months ago and said: “This is the work of Boko Haram.”

It was, however, impossible to verify the claim independently.

Colonel Bermandoa Agouna said several of the victims had been decapitated while other had been shot. “There are heads here and bodies there, the mass grave has become like a termite mound,” he added.

Chad and Niger launched a vast air and ground offensive against Boko Haram in the area on March 8, quickly taking Damasak from the Nigerian Islamist militants.

According to a Chadian army source, the militants suffered heavy losses in the push, with some 200 killed in fighting on Sunday for the loss of 10 Chadian soldiers with 20 wounded.

“Operation Mai Dounama”, named after a 13th-century emperor of Borno province in northern Nigeria, aims to destroy Boko Haram bases close to Niger, a Nigerien army spokesman said Thursday.

Boko Haram took Damasak on November 24, killing around 50 people and forcing another 3,000 to flee, according to the UN’s High Commissioner for Refugees.

I hope these bastards have not DECAPACITED the CHIBOK GIRLS while the president is still waiting for them to SHOW HIM THE DEAD BODIES before he knows what to do.

RIP to the dead.

Never AGAIN!

GEJ till 2019!

Chadian and Niger troops are Boko haram.

So after massacring Nigerians who refuse to be displaced, they are claiming "Boko haram" did it.

When has BH ever bothered to bury their victims?

People abeg please wake up and fast.

bro this conspiracy does not hold water at least for now based on empirical evidence so far. Let's not accuse based on sentiments and hearsay. Damasak was sacked by Boko Haram since November last year or so and the Chadian and Nigerien Soldiers movement to reclaim the town was well reported on AFP last week.

I watched a state funeral service for about 20 Chadians soldiers killed during fighting with Boko Haram 2weeks ago, are you saying the Boko Haramic Chadian Soldiers killed the non Boko Haramic Chadian Soldiers. Nigeria owes a huge appreciation to the Chadians who took the bull by the Horn by launching a counter insurgency action against Boko HAram.

The fact they reclaim from Boko haram and ask the Nigerian Army to come takeover and mount military presence so they can move on to other areas shows they have no interest in holding territories which was my initial scare about their assistance.

They did same in Northern Mali and never stayed back so please let not spread unnecessary propaganda

How has what u just wrote disprove the fact that Chad and Niger and Cameroon troops are Boko haram.

If your someone came to you at work to inform you that your home is being vandalised by your neighbours, what should be your first instinct?
Dismiss as not holding water? Because your burglars have been burgling your home for sometime?

please the person who owns the name in your moniker is an intelligent and wise person and wont say things without evidence.

The operation is aided by U.S. too under the codename FLINTLOCK are you saying America was behind BOKO HARAM TOO.

I guess you were okay with the way things were before with a territory as big as Belgium under BH control and the NA handicapped on how to take them back.

The Chadians fought against the Tuareg Rebels and AQIM in Northern Mali, are you saying they were the TUAREG REBELS TOO?

Something had to give in the BH impasse and I think things are better now than before thanks to Chad, France and the USA providing technical and men

Yes America is behind Boko haram

Go and Sleep man

Again what evidence allows you to be so dismissive.

Do you understand the meaning of the word neocolonialism?

Asking if I know about the word neocolonialism is an insult. If you're intelligent enough you ought to know if France and the USA need to recolonize Africa they won't use Islamic Terrorists as a front.

Guess they are using ISIS too because they want to recolonize Iraq and Syria. Stop exhibiting this your dunce conspiracy theory and stop spreading misinformation and unfounded stories.

Do you prefer Nigeria remained the way it was before the chadians came to join in the battle?
Change your moniker too because the person who bear that name is an intelligent and a great tactical military officer who won't reason or say things anyhow.

From you comment I sense that you do not fully understand the meaning of neocolonialism. It is not the same as re-colonialism.

Have you forgotten I informed you that Boko Haram are Chadian troops and even some Nigerian troops may even be involved at times.

The only war that is occuring is a war against the innocent Nigerian people who are totally in the dark because our government is in full collusion with the genocide that is occuring.
