Atleast
100 people were killed and over hundred others injured when Boko Haram
terrorists attacked Dalori Village, some 4 kilometers from Maiduguri yesterday
evening.
Residents
of the community told a correspondent from Sahara Reporters that the operation started
around 6:20 pm and lasted for several hours.
The
militants who operated unchallenged were said to have stormed the town in Hilux vans and motorcycles dressed in
army uniforms as they took their time to raze down houses in Dalori village
also livestock were burnt after they had looted and carted away foodstuffs.
Several civilians were burnt beyond recognition.
Rescue
workers who participated in evacuating the victims disclosed that they brought out 45 dead bodies to state specialist hospital and deposited
23 corpses at the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital but several burnt
victims remain without help in the beleaguered village.
A
resident of the village, Mallam Buka Dalori told our correspondent that ''we
were helpless, could you believe that there was no military presence in Dalori,
the government didn't provide security to protect us. I lost 11 people, and 5 children are nowhere to be found.''
Another
resident Ibrahim Muhammad said that Boko Haram fighters dressed like military
personnel and started opening fire on everybody, "all our wives and
children were brutally killed while they looted and destroyed our livestock."
