Over 40 persons were killed by Boko Haram invaders on Tuesday evening in Konduga town in Borno State, SaharaReporters has learnt.
Our source, who is a member of an official assessment team dispatched to the area following the incident, said the sect burnt down several houses and a secondary school. The authorities were forced to down that institution.
SaharaReporters further learnt that a military reinforcement has now reached Konduga and taken over the security situation in the area.
