Up to 150 people have been shot dead or drowned in a river in northeastern Nigeria
Up to 150 people have been shot dead or drowned in a river in northeastern Nigeria while fleeing violence by the Boko Haram Takfiri terrorists.
Witnesses and local residents said that Boko Haram terrorists on motorcycles and in a car attacked the remote village of Kukuwa-Gari in the violence-hit Yobe State.
Witnesses said the bodies of many of the drowned were pulled out by locals several kilometers away.
The news of the ambush took five days to emerge because the terrorists have destroyed telecommunications masts around the village.
According to a count by the AFP, a wave of raids, bombings and attacks has left at least 1,000 people dead in Nigeria alone in less than three months.
