Boko Haram militants reportedly disguised as preachers massacre Dozens in Borno

Suspected members of the Boko Haram sect have attacked Kwajafa village in Borno State killing 24 persons and injuring over a dozen others, a security source has revealed.
They also set the village mosque on fire.
The source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said the insurgents stormed the village on Sunday evening.
He said, “The insurgents who rode to the town in Volkswagen Golf cars on Sunday evening, told the villagers that they were there to preach. They however opened fire on the people as soon as they gathered an appreciable number of the villagers in the village square.”
He lamented that some of the residents who were in a mosque at the time of the attack were not spared as the insurgents set them ablaze.
He said mostly killed were those who could not immediately decipher that the disguised preachers were Boko Haram members on a deadly mission.
A nurse at the General Hospital, Biu  said some injured persons were brought to the hospital from Kwajafa, some 35 kilometres away for treatment.
The medical worker added that some of the injured persons were treated in other health facilities in Kwajafa.
Investigations revealed that past attacks forced people to flee the village but some of them returned after peace returned to the community.
