Terrorists kill 15 female gang members for ‘witchcraft’, attempts to surrender to Military in Borno
Suspected Boko Haram terrorists have killed 15 female members at Mandara Hills, in the Gwoza Local Government Area of Borno State.
According to PUNCH, a military source on Wednesday said that the terrorists killed 10 of the victims after accusing them of witchcraft while five others were reportedly killed for attempting to surrender to the military.
The source said the leader of Boko Haram in charge of Mandara Hills, Gwoza General Area and parts of Cameroon, Ali Ngulde, allegedly ordered the killing of the victims.
He said, “The story you heard that they killed 20 women is not true; they killed 15, and they are their members; they killed them four days ago.
Meanwhile, the state Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Sani Shatambaya, said the command had yet to receive any information concerning such an incident, PUNCH reports.
He said, “Honestly, I am not aware of that. If it is actually true, it will soon come to our notice. As of now, we are not aware of it.”
