A resident of Durwa claimed that the gunmen arrived on motorcycles and rounded up a number of people, singling out six recent arrivals from Krenuwa village who had apparently escaped a bloody Boko Haram raid a month ago.
Emerging reports from Marte District, Borno State, indicate that Boko Haram gunmen attacked the villages of Durwa and Maforo on Sunday, killing and slaughtering 10 civilians.
Usman Ari, a resident of Durwa, claimed that the gunmen arrived on motorcycles and rounded up a number of people, singling out six recent arrivals from Krenuwa village who had apparently escaped a bloody Boko Haram raid a month ago.
Citing continued violence in the area, Ari vowed to leave Durwa along with others in search of a safer environment in the Borno State capital, Maiduguri.
Both villages, Durwa and Maforo, are located in the Marte district, an area that the government regained control of earlier this year after losing it to insurgents late last year.
Borno State is currently under a state of emergency.
