It has been gathered that the fresh attack on Kawuri town occurred at about 5pm, Sunday, when gunmen carrying AK47 rifles, Improvised Explosive Devices and petrol bombs entered the community and wreaked havoc before they fled into the Sambisa forest.
According to a survivor, Mallam Mustapha Modu said, he counted about 47 dead bodies on Monday morning while several others sustained gunshots and burnt wounds.
