Human rights organisation Amnesty International condemned the latest killing of 75 people in Tunbun Rogo village, Borno State.

“Amnesty International condemns Boko Haram’s latest vicious killing of at least 75 persons during a deadly attack on Tuesday targeting fishermen at Tunbun Rogo — a village in the Kukawa local government area of #Borno State,” the human rights organisation said in a statement on Friday.

This latest attack, according to the human rights organisation, left dozens missing while the bodies of those killed are still being retrieved from the bush.

“Since the attack, dozens of people are still missing while bodies of those killed while trying to escape Boko Haram’s raid are still being discovered in the bush and the nearby river.”

Lamenting how “Boko Haram target women and girls with rape and other sexual violence,” Amnesty Internation said, “The Nigerian authorities must do more to protect civilians and bring the suspected perpetrators of all such attacks to justice.”

Tunbun Rogo village raid by Boko Haram comes barely 24 hours after Secretary to the Government of Federation, George Akume, claimed President Bola Tinubu-led government has defeated Boko Haram in their first year in office.

Citing BBC Hausa, Peoples Gazette, on Monday, reported that “The attackers killed eight people and abducted a hundred and sixty people, after breaking into shops and stealing food and necessities.”

Similarly, two weeks ago, bandits dressed in military uniforms abducted about 20 people in the Dawaki community in the Federal Capital Territory.

Last week Monday, bandits also raided and killed at least 40 persons at Zurak, a village in the Wase Local Government area of Plateau State.
