Vanguard reports that hundreds of dead bodies have been found in Damasak, Borno state. The bodies are apparently the corpses of Boko Haram victims.
Kaumi Kusur, a local man in the area said that the victims were buried in 20 mass graves at the weekend. He said "dead bodies were found in houses, streets and many more in the Damasak River which has dried up."
Another local gave the death toll at 400, but the Borno state government is yet to give a precise figure, saying instead that the toll was in the hundreds.
Kusur said “we brought all of them and though the bodies have decomposed, we gave them (a) proper burial in more than 20 mass graves that can be identified anytime the need arises."
