About 44 people praying at a mosque
in Konduga town, some 22 miles outside Maiduguri, Borno state, have been gunned
down by suspected Islamic militants, security agents said.
A Department of State Service, DSS,
agent and a member of a civilian vigilante group working with the military
said, yesterday, they counted the bodies at the mosque after last Sunday morning’s
attack.
Also yesterday, embattled leader of
the Boko Haram sect, Abubakar Shekau made a video appearance and claimed series
of recent deadly attacks on security forces in the North-East. Shekau also
insisted that he was in “good health” despite an on-going military offensive
aimed at crushing the Islamist insurgent group he heads.
