The Civilian JTF said on Saturday that Boko Haram terrorists have slaughtered four women in a remote village in Borno State, Northeast of Nigeria.
They said that fourteen Boko Haram terrorists on seven motorcycles had stormed Mairari village, 80 kilometres from Maiduguri on Friday night and picked four women aged between 27 and 45 from their homes and slit their throats.
“They went into four homes while residents were breaking their fast around 7:00 pm, brought out the four women and slaughtered them,” Babakura Kolo, a vigilante in Maiduguri told AFP.
“We believe the killings were targeted, the gunmen were from all indications after the husbands of the women,” he said.
“They killed the women when they didn’t find their husbands”.
Another vigilante, Musa Ari gave a similar account.
“The general feeling is that the women’s husbands either refused to accept Boko Haram’s invitation to join their ranks or the group suspects them of passing information about them to the authorities,” Ari told AFP.
