Boko Haram Burns 11 Villagers To Death In Attack On Jakana

Senator Ahmed Khalifa Zannah, who represents Borno Central Senatorial District in the Nigeria National Assembly, has confirmed that 11 villagers in Jakana were burnt to death by Boko Haram sect fighters on Monday, as previously reported by SaharaReporters.

The Senator told some journalists in Abuja that the militants earlier warned the villagers of the attack before they stormed the community and burnt down one third of it.
Senator Zannah said youths and other strong adults fled the area, leaving only the aged and those who had no means of escaping.
SaharaReporters gathered that it was a reinforcement of soldiers finally forced the sect to retreat.
