At a funeral
Boko Haram fighters have killed at least 18 people at a funeral in northeast Nigeria, residents and a police official have said.
The attackers shot at mourners and set houses on fire after arriving on motorbikes in the village of Kuda near Madagali town in Adamawa state on Thursday evening, witnesses said.
At least ten more were injured, according to a witness.
Resident Moses Kwagh told the Reuters news agency that people waited until three hours after the attack and then counted 18 women’s bodies. Some women were still missing, he said.
“When we said that Boko Haram is still in this place, some people sit in Abuja and claim that there is no more Boko Haram – but see what has happened,” Kwagh said.
Ramadan mubarak, eh.
