A witness who hid in a tree told media outlets he saw the terror group Boko Haram go on a shooting and burning rampage through Dalori village and two nearby refugees camps that including the killing of children by fire.
Specifically, he said he heard the screams of children as they burned to death inside the huts Boko Haram members attacked, the Associated Press reported.
Bodies of charred victims who had also been shot were scattered about the dirt streets of the village and camps, located just a few miles from Maiduguri, the birthplace of Boko Haram.
The attacks , which lasted for almost four hours, kicked off with separate suicide bombings, AP reported, citing a telephone conversation with a survivor named Alamin Bakura.
Journalists flocking to the scene said the survivors now fear another attack. Eighty-six bodies were collected, said Mohammed Kanar, a coordinator with the local National Emergency Management Agency. Sixty-two more survived, but with serious burns.
The Islamic attacks on various villages and encampments in the region have been going on for six years, and so far, 20,000 have been killed and another 2.5 million sent fleeing, AP reported.
