Suspected Boko Haram members
According to civilians JTF, Boko Haram militants have killed at least 37 people in separate attacks on five different villages on Wednesday in Borno State.

The notorious group rode on utility vehicles to Koshifa, Matangle, Buraltuma, Darmanti, Almeri and Burmari villages all in Damboa local government area of Borno state yesterday, opening fire indiscriminately on villagers as well as burning homes.

A top civilian Joint Task Force (JTF) in Biu town who confirmed the attack by phone to SaharaReporters said that the villagers who fled experienced horrible things from the insurgents. With all their husbands dead and houses burnt down, they escaped their homes with nothing.

”At least 37 people, mostly men and youths, were killed in a coordinated attack on the five villages. Their homes were razed down completely.”

‎He added that ”many people are still missing but we believe that they will still come to Damboa or Biu town so that they can reunite with their families. I must say Boko haram has almost wiped out this generation.”

A security source also confirmed the attacks but couldn’t state the exact figures.
