The displaced persons who survived the onslaught told our correspondent Saturday that ethnic militias guarding villages in Michika killed many people after accusing them of practising the same faith as Boko Haram.
Victims’ corpses, most of them with slit throats, littered bushes and outskirts of Michika, they said.
A survivor, Bulama Waida, said, “after I escaped to the mountains with my wife and four children, the rest separated from us leaving me with one of my sons. While I was searching for them and finding my way to Uba town, the local vigilantes on the mountain arrested me. Many people were killed after they said they were Muslims.
“Most of the remaining people that they caught; they took them away and slaughtered them. They accused us of having the same faith as members of the Boko Haram group.”
But when contacted, the chairman of Michika Local Government, Mr Vandi Pavanza, said he was not aware of the alleged attacks on the displaced persons.
