On Monday, Boko haram terrorists attacked Debiro village in Hawul Local government area of Borno state and slit the throat of 20 villagers.

Narrating the incident, a fleeing resident told SAHARA REPORTERS, ''It was in the afternoon time when we started hearing gunshots and people were running helter-skelter, there was confusion everywhere, some were shot dead and many had their throats slit. We were helpless as our foodstuffs were carted away by the rampaging militants who later burnt down most of the houses in our village.''

''I can't say tell you the correct number of people killed, but at least 20 people including women had their throats slit''
