Information just reaching us from Borno state reveals that members
of the radical Islamist group Boko Haram have carried out another
massacre in Gwoza town.
According to a woman who said she escaped from the area, approximately 75 men were slaughtered by the heartless terrorist group.
The escapee, who spoke with Sunnews in Maiduguri, the Borno
capital on Thursday on condition of anonymity, said she and other women
who had been held captive by the Boko Haram managed to escape after a
bomb explosion pulled down the house where she was held.
She said
she escaped from Gwoza to a neighbouring community that was recently
liberated by the Nigerian military in Adamawa state.
“A bomb
blast occurred in a house where many women were held captive by Boko
Haram and there was confusion everywhere. Two people died and many
injured. The confusion provided opportunity for me and others to flee
the town,” she said.
The escapee said the ordeal of
thousands of other people still held hostage by Boko Haram in Gwoza
town, which is about 187 kilometres from Maiduguri, was deplorable.
