Abuja, July 4 (RHC)-- Boko Haram Takfiri terrorists have killed nearly 200 people in fresh attacks on homes and mosques in Nigeria in two days. Eyewitnesses say that early on Friday, the terrorist group dragged at least 11 men from homes in Miringa, a remote village in Nigeria’s northeastern Borno state, and executed them in the presence of villagers.

According to AFP, the men had allegedly escaped forced conscription by the armed group. These men had apparently fled from Gwargware, their home village in Yobe state, to seek refuge in Miringa.

In another deadly incident on Friday, up to 50 armed bikers of the group attacked Mussa, a village in the restive Borno state, opened fire on villagers, and burned their homes.

Later on Friday, a 15-year-old girl, wrapped with explosives, blew herself up in a mosque in Malari, a village in Borno state, killing 12 men who had attended the mosque for their afternoon prayers.

In a statement released on Friday, Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari condemned the latest mass murders by Boko Haram as the “most inhuman and barbaric.” The Nigerian president said: “These last desperate acts of fleeing agents of terrorism underscore the urgent need to bring to early fruition the efforts of the government to form a more effective international coalition against insurgency and terrorism in Nigeria and neighboring countries."

On Wednesday and Thursday, the terrorist group killed at least 145 people and injured dozens others during attacks on homes and mosques in the volatile Borno state.
