According to reports, 21 persons have been killed by Boko Haram who dressed in military uniform in Yobe state.
A local vigilante source revealed that 21 persons had been staying in Damaturu after fleeing their communities earlier captured by insurgents.
The source also revealed that the resident returned to the community because they felt that peace had returned to the place.
However, the victims who had been displaced from Lazarawa, Ngirbua, Maram and Garin Kuyama villages miscalculated as they were attacked on their way on Yobe Road.
According to the source, the victims were intercepted and killed in Bultaram village on their way back to Damaturu.
“They opened fire on all of them, we believe they cannot be soldiers but insurgents dressed in military camouflage,” he said.
He revealed that the bodies of the victims had not been buried as their relations were awaiting clearance from the military authorities operating in the area.
