A source, who has relatives in the town, said through phone that he counted the corpses of 16 persons after the attack.

“They (victims) are receiving treatment at the Specialist Hospital in Geidam.”

He said the terrorists attacked the village after the residents, who are mostly farmers, refused to pay the tax imposed on them by the fighters.

‘‘Members of the community told me that they have been asked to pay taxes to the terrorists, but they failed to do so.

“That was why the town was attacked, forcing residents to flee to safe places in Geidam LGA,’’ he said.

Babagana Aisami Geidam, a human rights activist, told Daily Trust that so far 16 persons had been killed while three others sustained injuries, adding that one person was in a critical condition.

He said the deceased persons had been buried according to Islamic rites, saying military personnel had been mobilised to the affected village.

When contacted, the Assistant Director Public Relations Officer Operation Lafiya Dole Captain Muhammad Shehu, confirmed the incident , saying the terrorists alleged that the villagers were given information to the troops who were being flushed out from their hideout.

‘‘They (terrorists) attacked the villagers for alleging that they are helping us with useful information to flush them out.

”I cannot give you the accurate number of casualties, but all I knew is that military personnel have been deployed and normalcy has been restored,’’ he said.   (Daily Trust / vitalnewsngr.com)
