20 persons traveling in four cars met their untimely deaths on Wednesday when they were shot by Boko Haram terrorists fleeing from an attack on their camp by the Nigerian military.
According to an eyewitness, the travellers were killed around Jingalta village, about 70 kilometers north of Maiduguri, Borno State.
He said ;
“We received information of an attack by Boko Haram gunmen on four cars near Jingalta village where they shot dead all 20 occupants of the vehicles before setting the cars ablaze.
