Families of Slain Alleged BH Members In Borno Accuse JTF of Extra Judicial Killings

Last week, about 11 alleged Boko Haram members, between the ages of 16 and 22, were killed by the Joint Task Force (JTF) in Borno state. Even the Fields Operations Officer of the JTF, Colonel Victor Ebhaleme told journalists about the killings, which he said happened in a gun fight that lasted for several hours during a stop and search operation, along an undisclosed road in Maiduguri.

Now the families of the 11 young men killed are accusing the JTF of extra judicial killing, claiming that the JTF stormed their homes, took the boys alive and murdered them without any provocation whatsoever. 

The families gave the names of the slain youths as Baba Kaka Dala, Ali Dala, Mamman Mustapha, Mamman Rosi, Hassan Mohammed, Mohammed Wakil Bala, Babangida Adamu, Baba Kaka Goni and Adam Konto.
