Eleven villagers were said to have been burnt to death by the rampaging Boko Haram sect yesterday in the small village of Jakana.
It was gathered that the Boko Haram sect members had warned the villagers of the impending attack. The eleven villagers however were burnt to death in what can be seen as a punishment for an affront on the sect members who had earlier warned of their impending destruction of the village.
Senator Ahmed Khalifa Zannah, who represents Borno Central Senatorial District in the Nigeria National Assembly, confirmed the burning of the 11 villagers in Jakana by Boko Haram sect fighters on Monday.
The Senator also confirmed to some journalists in Abuja that the militants earlier warned the villagers of the attack before they stormed the community and burnt down one third of it.
Senator Zannah said youths and other strong adults fled the area, leaving only the aged and those who had no means of escaping.
