“The death figure is speculative at the moment; some say over 100 while others say nearly 200.

“Some people said nearly 70 dead persons were taken to the hospital and that over 40 were injured.

“I don’t have the exact figure but it is alarming. I was reliably informed that scores were killed.

“Let me also inform you that suicide bombers hit fleeing villagers.

“Again, Boko Haram fighters in military uniforms killed another set of persons.

“Villagers thought they were soldiers and ran to them for help.
