Boko Haram kills 25 Traders in Daku Village in Borno state
At least 25 traders have been killed in an attack at a local market in Nigeria's restive state of Borno, sources said.
The place is 30 km away from the scene of the abduction of more than 200 school girls in April.
The attack, blamed on the Boko Haram sect, occurred Sunday at Daku village of Askir Uba local government area of the northern state, Xinhua reported.
"More people may have been killed. No one can say precisely how many traders lost their lives. We all had to scamper for safety. Obviously, the attackers were Boko Haram members," said Musa Tijani, a trader who spoke in local Hausa language.
According to Tijani, the attackers invaded the market, driving utility vans and riding on motorcycles.
They also carted away some wares from the shops. Before looting the shops, they sprayed bullets indiscriminately at buyers and sellers at the market, he added.
