BREAKING: 51 Massacred As Boko Haram Attack Nigerian Refugees In Niger

Boko Haram terrorists have attacked Tumur Town, a community in Niger Republic, which houses more than 40,000 refugees from Nigeria.

This report is coming from Maiduguri, Borno state capital, the North-Eastern, part of Nigeria.

The attack which took place on Sunday according to some refugees, who called their relatives in Maiduguri, stated that the attack which was very deadly, left more than 51 people dead and many properties destroyed, including animals.

Most of the individuals of the Tumur town are people from Abadam Local Government Area of Borno state in Nigeria.

It could be recalled that a similar incident happened in mid May this year, which prompted over 2000 households to relocate to Damasak in search of safety and protection.

Government officials and international organisations in Damasak told journalists that the town of Damasak may experience continuation of movement of people from Niger in future.
