| Description |
Nigerian soldiers angry about the killing of two soldiers in a Boko Haram blast, shot dead more than 30 civilians and seven soldiers in thoughtless rage. A witness saw that soldiers had set fire to about 50 homes and businesses around the area, which sits near the Nigerian Union of Journalists state office and other buildings in Maiduguri. It appeared the soldiers attacked the area using assault rifles and heavy machine guns mounted on armored personnel carriers. Rounds shot from the heavy machine guns destroyed cars and set roofs on fire, which razed buildings and caused damage at a two-story shopping complex. |
