Suspected Boko Haram insurgents shot dead at least 15 people in Kautikari located close to the troubled Chibok town, Borno State.

Reuters reports with reference to the witnesses that the attack was launched Monday, December 29, and targeted Kautikari, which is situated near Cameroon border.

A survivor identified as Jonah Umaru said in a telephone interview:

“The were about twenty, well-armed. They came in four-wheel drive vehicles and some motorcycles. Initially, I thought they were soldiers.

“The man running behind me was gunned down as I was fleeing. Afterwards, there were 15 people lying dead in the streets.”

More than 200 girls were abducted in Chibok April 14. Despite the global effort to locate and rescue them, the school children have not reunited with their families.

Moreover, earlier in December insurgents killed 32 and allegedly kidnapped 185 more women and children in Gumsuri, 20 km from Chibok.

One of the escaped locals, Mukhtar Buba, disclosed:

“After killing our youths, the insurgents have taken away our wives and daughters.”

Meanwhile Cameroon, also suffering from Boko Haram insurgency in the North of the country, just announced the killing of at least 41 militants along the border with Nigeria
