Boko Haram gunmen have murdered 20 villagers in Biu local government area of Borno State for their failure to provide a N250,000 levied on them by the terror sect.
The Boko Haram gunmen had asked the villagers two months ago to provide N250,000 to support the ‘work of God’ or risk being attacked.
A reisdent of Kamuyya said,“When they issued such threat, we all took it lightly; everyone was relaxed and nobody bothered to make any extra effort to ensure that we raised the amount beyond what we could raise, which is about N70, 000. Maybe that was what ignited this bloody attack because we were unable to meet their demand”.
Umar further said, “They continued to shoot their guns for over a period and throughout that period which was over five hours and there was no single security personnel to confront the invaders. They snatched several vehicles and loaded them with bags of assorted foodstuffs , before leaving the town in the evening. They destroyed everything we had, they carted away our foodstuffs and burnt down the remaining ones.”
