After clearing Boko Haram from Bama, Borno state, the soldiers have discovered a well filled with dead bodies. Also, bodies were found on the bridge across Bama River.


The discovery of bodies in the well and bridge, according to military sources, has exposed the atrocities perpetrated by terrorists, when they held sway in the town and while escaping, on the heels of soldiers’ takeover.

Residents told soldiers that as the military pushed towards the town, in the liberation mission, terrorists embarked on killing spree, slaughtering people as they escaped. Meanwhile, house-to-house searches continue in Bama, as the military seeks to rid the town of all terrorists. In the search, people are interrogated, to ascertain their true identities.

Military medical teams and emergency workers, it was gathered, are now attending to survivors and evacuating internally displaced persons.
