315 Bodies Buried After Boko Haram's Gamboru Massacre
Residents have found and buried about three hundred and fifteen corpses of those killed by Boko Haram insurgents in Monday's attack on Nigeria's border town Gamboru.
Survivors of the attack on Gamboru, Nigeria's furthest community on the eastern border with Cameroon, have been searching for the corpses of their loved ones.
A youth volunteer, Kolo Abbaram, who spoke with Daily Trust said they have been burying corpses since Wednesday.
“We moved from house to house and have recovered many bodies. Many men and women were killed and children were also affected. There are many mass graves now because it is not possible to bury the dead individually. We therefore put 10 bodies in each grave,” Abbaram said.
Meanwhile, residents of Gamboru community are afraid of a disease outbreak of because some of the corpses are rotting undiscovered.
