Members of the Islamic sect, Boko Haram, have continued to ignore the ceasefire agreement they reached with the Federal Government as the militant group beheaded six people along the Biu-Garkida road in Borno State on Friday.
The road is said to be the same one where the Emir of Gwoza, Idrissa Timta, was killed a few months ago.
The sect was also said to have attacked and killed people at Abadam village around the Lake Chad area in Borno State and Gava III of Gwoza Local Government Area and were said to be in full control of the village as of Sunday.
The latest round of Boko Haram atrocities followed the invasion of Sondi village in Wukari Local Government Area of Taraba State, where some gunmen killed no fewer than 14 people.
According to the Executive Director of Stefanos Foundation, Mr. Mark Lipdo, the sect, after slaughtering their victims in the Borno community, where the Emir of Gwoza was killed months ago, left the lifeless bodies lying on the spot for a long time.
Lipdo, quoting sources from the area, said the insurgents had occupied the community, preventing relatives from taking their slain relatives.
He said in an effort to remove the bodies, a young man was shot as he attempted to retrieve his father’s body.
He is said to be presently receiving treatment in a hospital in Biu.
Lipdo said, “Information says in spite of the ceasefire agreement with the insurgents, at about 12 and 1pm, six innocent civilians were held hands bound and slaughtered on the Biu-Garkida road of Borno State yesterday (Friday). The bodies were left lying there for a long time on the spot, where the Emir of Gwoza was killed months ago.
