 "Those bodies in shallow graves have badly decomposed while those found on the streets were desiccated from [exposure to] dry ‎winds," Mustapha added. "The staggering number of dead bodies found in Damasak is a testimony of the large-scale atrocity Boko Haram committed when they were in control of the town" Kyari added.
These bodies are from the attacks carried out by the Boko Haram sect when they captured the Village last year November. This goes to prove the depth of the sects attackin Nigeria.
