According to Amnesty International: "On the early hours of 27 December 2011, nine people - Wakil Dala, Bukar Dla, Ali Dala, Adam Tijjani, Mamman Adamu Mustapha, Hassan Musa Bukar, Mamman M Mustapha, Alhaji Ali and Babangida Adamu – were allegedly shot by members of the JTF. According to residents of the community, JTF soldiers in several vehicles had arrived at Kawar Maila Ward, Maiduguri, and surrounded homes. Parents were asked to produce their male children. They were told their sons were being taken away for interrogation. Two days later a relative of one of the arrested boys heard on the radio that the JTF had killed 11 Yusufiyya [followers of Mohammed Yusuf] members in Maiduguri. One of the relatives went to the mortuaries to check. He found the bodies of all nine on the floor of the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital mortuary. In a press conference at the National Union of Journalists House in Maiduguri, a relative of one of the boys killed described how, when he and the other relatives arrived at the mortuary to claim the bodies, soldiers told them that they would not be allowed to take away the corpses unless they signed a statement that all the executed boys were members of Boko Haram.102 The relatives refused. The Village Head was arrested and detained for 24 hours for refusing to sign a similar statement that the nine were killed in a gun battle." ^[+]
