New, more gory details
have emerged in what was reported first as the killing of 35 Muslim worshipers
and the wounding of 14 last week in the town of Dumba village in Borno State,
Nigeria.
News of the tragedy was slow to emerge because area is remote and
because internet and phone lines had been cut off by authorities in the attempt
to disrupt the activities of the group Boko Haram, suspected of the
perpetrating the massacre. It was the second such incident in this month.
This morning’s report now indicate that 44 victims had their
throats slit, and the remaining victims had their eyes gouged out. The official
of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), speaking on the condition of anonymity explained that the
group adopted this method of killing as a strategy
to avoid sound from gunfire which attracts security forces.
