Mass burial organized for farmers killed by Boko Haram terrorists in Yobe [PHOTOS]

Reports reaching DAILY POST indicated that funeral prayer is set to commence for victims of the recent attack by suspected Boko Haram insurgents in Mafa community, Tarmuwa Local Government Area of Yobe State.

The corpses have been conveyed from the community to Babbangida, the local government’s headquarters, located about 50 kilometers from Damaturu, the state capital, by a joint team of military, vigilante and community members.

DAILY POST had reported that about 70 people were killed in Mafa when gunmen suspected to be Boko Haram terrorists invaded the community on Sunday evening.

The latest attack was reportedly carried out in retaliation for the villagers’ alleged involvement in providing intelligence to the military, which led to the killing of several insurgents last month.

The attack was widely condemned from within and outside the state.
