Takfiri Boko Haram kills over 40 in northeast Nigeria
Boko Haram Takfiri terrorists have shot dead at least 42 people
Boko Haram Takfiri terrorists have shot dead at least 42 people in violent attacks on two villages in northeastern Nigeria’s Borno State, security sources say.
The causalities were caused after about 30 terrorists on motorcycles and pick-up trucks launched attacks on DebiroBiu and DebiroHawul cities.
A senior regional security official confirmed that more than 40 people had lost their lives in the latest deadly terrorist attacks.
“We received reports of attacks by suspected Boko Haram gunmen on the two villages in which 42 deaths were recorded,” the unnamed police officer said.
The militant group has stepped up its attacks since Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari, a former army general came to power on May 29. President Buhari, has vowed to curb Boko Haram’s militancy.
The TakfiriBoko Haram group, whose name means “Western education is forbidden, has claimed responsibility for several deadly attacks, shootings and bombings in various regions of Nigeria during the past six years.
