The incident occurred after militants riding on motorbikes stormed the Kimba village in the restive province of Borno late on Friday, opening fire on villagers and setting the entire village ablaze.
“Not a single house was spared in the arson,” said a civilian, who assists the Nigerian military in battling the Takfiri group.
The rest of the village, hundreds of people, fled for their lives to the town of Biu, in the southern parts of the province, where they were housed in a refugee camp already crammed with other people running from Boko Haram.
At least 20,000 people have lost their lives and over 2.5 million become homeless since the beginning of the Boko Haram militancy in Nigeria in 2009. The Takfiri terrorists have recently pledged allegiance to the Daesh Takfiri terrorist group, which is primarily operating inside Syria and Iraq.
