100+ killed as Boko Haram men dressed in military uniform attack 4 villages in Borno

Over 100 people were killed on Tuesday night after Boko Haram men
attacked 4 villages; Attagara, Agapalawa, Ngoshe and Aganjara in the
Gwoza local government area of Borno State.

News of the attack is just being heard because the men destroyed the
telecommunications mast in the villages during the attacks.

According to Hon. Peter Bive, the House of Reps member for the area at
the National Assembly who spoke with AFP, he said the attacks on the
villages were left many dead.

"There were deadly attacks on these villages by Boko Haram insurgents
who killed a large number of people and destroyed homes. We are still
trying to compile a toll of the dead as people on the ground are still
counting the number of casualties." he said. He also stated that the
sect men have been daring enough in their actions as they have foisted
their flags in 7 villages in the region indicating that those areas
are now in their control

"Boko Haram have hoisted their flags in at least seven villages in the
area which they now claim to be under their control," he said.
