< < Go Back
Saturday evening, Boko Haram unleashed horror on Dalori village, Nigeria, killing at least 86 people, and wounding another 62. Among the dead were numerous children.
According to the Associated Press:
“A survivor hidden in a tree says he watched Boko Haram extremists firebomb huts and heard the screams of children burning to death.”
The AP adds that the dead “littered the streets.” The terrorists arrived on motorcycles and in cars, wearing military uniforms, according to witnesses. They used firearms, female suicide bombers, and incendiary devices to lay waste to the village and two nearby refugee camps.
The attack went on for over four hours, says survivor Alamin Bakura. Several of his family members allegedly died in the attack as well.
According to The BBC, smoke could be seen from as far away as Maiduguri, nearly six miles from Dalori, as the village was almost completely destroyed.
