According to Amnesty International: "On the evening of 12 February 2012, between 7pm and 8pm, according to eyewitness accounts, the JTF mounted a road block at the entrance to Budum community, Maiduguri, set a house on fire and carried out a house to house search. Eight people were killed, including some trying to flee the area. According to eyewitnesses interviewed by Amnesty International, Kana M Zakaria (16) was asked to come out of his house with his hands raised and was shot dead by a mobile police officer attached to the JTF unit. Bako Gwain Tijjani (42) was also shot dead while his hands were raised over his head. Six of the bodies were reportedly taken away by the JTF and later retrieved by the community from the hospital, while those of Baba Kalo (63) and Malam Yahaya (35) were left at the scene. According to residents interviewed by Amnesty International, the soldiers threatened the head of the community that he would be killed if he did not divulge who was a member of Boko Haram in the area. When he said that he did not know anyone, he was told to lie on his back while a soldier marched on his chest. This was repeated after he was ordered to lie on his front. Residents of Budum claimed the JTF carried out the raid because a JTF vehicle collided with an electricity pole next to Budum market. According to residents it was after this incident that the JTF cordoned off the area and started the house to house searchers. The JTF claimed in newspaper interviews that the operation was carried out after its vehicle came under attack from gunmen." ^[+]
