Boko Haram killed 33, , 100 in Borno.


Normalcy is said to have returned to Gumsuri Village in
Damboa Local Government Area of Borno State after
gunmen reportedly killed 33 and kidnapped about 100
people.
It was gathered that the attack occurred last Friday, but
the news made its way out after some of the survivors
made their way to Maiduguri, the State capital.
Those kidnapped are said to be mostly women and
children.
Although no one has claimed responsibility yet, the attack
bore the hallmarks of Boko Haram, which abducted more
than 200 women in April from a secondary school in
Chibok, 24 km (15 miles) from this latest attack.
Maina Chibok, who did not witness the attack but is from
Gumsuri and visited a family there shortly afterwards, told
Reuters that the insurgents came in pick-up trucks and
sprayed the town with bullets from AK-47s and machine
guns.
“They gathered the people, shot dead over 30 of them and
took away more than 100 women and children in two
open-top trucks.
“Burials of many of the victims had already taken place,
Chibok said.
A security source confirmed that more than 100 women
and children had been abducted and 35 people had been
killed, including the district head.
“They also burnt down a government medical centre,
houses and shops,” Chibok added.
A youth vigilante from the area called Aliyu Mamman also
told Reuters by telephone that there was no security
presence to stop the militants, who stayed in the town all
night before leaving.
