No less than 97 people were killed and several others injured when Boko Haram terrorists attacked Kukawa town of Kukawa local government area of Borno State.

A resident of Kukawa, Alhaji Abor Babagana, who fled to Maiduguri, said over 50 suspected members of Boko Haram stormed Kukawa town at about 6.30pm on Tuesday and open fire on people killing 97, while several others were injured.

He said “The terrorists first descended on Muslim worshippers in various mosques, who were observing the Magrib prayers shortly after breaking their fast. The insurgents rounded up about four different community mosques and opened fire on the worshippers who are mostly men and children.

“They spared nobody; in fact, while some of the terrorists waited and set most of the corpses on fire, others proceeded to houses and shot indiscriminately at women who were preparing food,” he added.

Another bereaved resident who lost his uncle, Garba Kolomi said “They wiped out the immediate family of my uncle. They killed his children, about five of them and set his entire house ablaze”.

A fisherman from the area, Alhaji Saleh Idi, who corroborated that 97 people had been killed, alleged that the attackers spent over four hours without any attempt by security forces to intervene.
“There was no single soldier in Kukawa when the terrorists came around 6.30pm. The soldiers were in Kuros-Kawwa which is just 11 kilometers away. The terrorists stole assorted food from houses and homes and then set everything ablaze. They left around 11 pm,” he said.

Kukawa which is about 178 kilometres away from Maiduguri was severely attacked in 2014, a situation which forced most residents to flee to Maiduguri and other villages across the Lake Chad.

Most of the locals, especially the fishermen and farmers among them returned to the ancient town early this year.

Another resident of Kukawa Alhaji Audu Kukawa told our correspondent that the insurgents came in Hilux vehicles.
He said “I personally counted 97 corpses and as I am speaking to you, we have not buried the dead ones”.

A job he swore an oath backed as Commander In Chief of the armed and unarmed forces with unrestricted access to our common wealth.

To imagine people are already looking towards 2019 shows we are locked in a cycle of failure.

this was a terrorist group dat was almost crushed and pushed as far Sambisa..they were already surrendering and divided against itself due to heat dey got from the military bt 2day Buhari whom some claimed to be a supporter of boko haram has given them breathing space with the aim of NEGOTIATING with dem and creating another SCAM of AMNESTY programme for the North.

the victims in all dis are the Nigerian pple

I thank God I was nt part of those who brought Nigeria to this confusion with their votes

Ok. Dulardhino is busy receiving letter of credence. Baba Goslow. Baba one chance. Baba Snail.

If I could lay my hands on Buhari I will strangle him till he dies.

What a Dullard we have as our C-in-C. Imagine the mess these idiots have put us in.

It's only a matter of time before Boko Haram will extend their attacks down South. Please let us arm ourselves with weapons of all sorts and the determination that Buhari's Boko Haram will never find a safe operating base in the SS & SE.

Buhari and Osibanjo are bastards.

God please come to our rescue. What is this? rest in peace to the dead
