BREAKING: Boko Haram slaughters five IDPs in Damboa, Borno, kidnap three others

No fewer than five Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) have been slaughtered and three others declared missing after suspected Boko Haram insurgents attacked them in Damboa Local Government Area of the state.

It was learned that the IDPs went in search of firewood outside Damboa town on Sunday morning when the incident happened.

According to a vigilante, Abu Damboa, the IDPs were declared missing when they didn’t return.

Abu said he and his colleagues then embarked on a search-and-rescue operation.

“We got the report to that some IDPs were missing. So, we swang into action but later found five of them beheaded two kilometres away from the scene where they were falling trees.

“It was disheartening to see fellow human beings slaughtered like animals, they were all displaced persons, “Abu said.

“Information received was that eight IDPs who went in search of firewood outside Damboa town some 6-8kms were abducted.

“Five dead bodies out of the eight missing IDPs were recovered this morning,” a humanitarian source revealed.
