142 corpses recovered after Boko Haram highway massacre

I'm sure you guys have been reading about all
the killings perpetuated by Boko Haram in
the past few days in the Northern part of the
country. They are going to homes, highways
and just killing people.
Just yesterday 142 bodies were discovered
and evacuated from the highway and
surrounding bushes in Borno state by officials
of the Borno State Environmental Protection
Agency (BOSEPA) after travelers were
ambushed, removed from their cars and
killed on the Maiduguri/Damaturu highway on
Tuesday Sept 17th by Boko Haram members
who dressed up as soldiers and set up
checkpoints.
The officials said they believe there are more
bodies they are yet to find but plan to keep
searching.
The gunmen, said to be over 300 in number,
also stormed Benisheikh town in Borno state
on Wednesday, killing civilians, soldiers,
policemen and setting houses, cars and motor
cycles ablaze.
The military post in the area and the local
government secretariat were also attacked
with rocket-propelled grenades.
The governor of the state promised people
who lost loved ones or property N250,000
each as compensation and promised to
rebuild the destroyed town. He described the
attack as barbaric and un-Islamic.
The attack is believed to be in retaliation of a
military strike on a Boko Haram camp last
week that left about 150 members dead.
