Suspected Boko Haram insurgents, on Thursday, killed youths across four communities in Mafa and Jere Local Government Areas of Borno State.
Four of the youths who were reportedly out in the bush fetching firewood were in Tamsu-Ngamdu, two in Baram-Karuwa and one in Shuwari, all in Mafa LGA while one was killed in Muna, Jere LGA.
“One of the youths, just about 16, who said he was spared by the killers to come and report the story, said those killed all had their hands tied at the back and shot,” Sherif Goni, a resident of Tamsu-Ngamdu, told newsmen on Friday. The state Governor, Babagana Zulum, who went around condoling the bereaved communities on Friday assured that the government would not be deterred in efforts to end insecurity in the state.
