Description
According to Amnesty International: "Another eyewitness described to Amnesty International how soldiers at a checkpoint on Ali Garawi Road in Maiduguri executed more than 190 people brought to them in batches by members of the “civilian JTF”. He said many of the people killed were former detainees who were unable to escape and looked too frail to run: “The civilian JTF brought the people to the soldiers, many were barefooted. Some did not even have clothes on and they looked hungry. I saw the soldiers asking the people to lie on the ground. There was a small argument between the soldiers and the civilian JTF. The soldiers made some calls and a few minutes later they started shooting the people on the ground. I counted 198 people killed at that checkpoint on Friday.”" [+]
