Renown Kaduna-based cleric, Dr. Ahmad Abubakar Mahmud Gumi, last night
posted on his Facebook page four shocking photographs purporting to show
how Nigerian soldiers executed unarmed civilians and buried them in a
mass grave in Borno state.
He described the act as a genocide that must be investigated. The civilians were most probably rounded up as suspects in the ongoing security crackdown on Boko Haram insurgents. In the first photograph, a soldier is seen standing guard as poorly dressed civilians many of them in their teens line up in an open field indicating a Savannah environment. A waiting white van can be seen in front of them. None of the civilians has a shoe or slippers on.

The second picture shows the civilians lying flat on their stomachs, all
dead. A third photograph shows a wider perspective of the executed men
just as a small group of young men dig a mass grave beside the corpses.
The fourth picture shows the group of grave-diggers pouring the
grotesque-looking corpses of the executed men into the mass grave from
the back of the white van. A few soldiers can be seen in the background,
with some sitting in a military van.
Gumi accompanied the photographs with a terse statement titled Genocide
Committed in Borno. started the statement by quoting a United States
government official, saying: The acting Assistant Secretary of State for
African Affairs, Robert Jackson said: When soldiers destroy towns, kill
civilians and detain innocent people with impunity, mistrust takes
root.
Gumi wrote: This crime must not go unpunished. The international
community should institute an inquiry and forensics search of other mass
graves and bring to those culpable to book.Please, let us control our
emotions and pray to Allah to expose all the criminals among us. So many
innocent people have suffered. Enough is enough. May Allah save us all.
Amin. The outspoken cleric did not, however, mention when the alleged
mass executions took place or give further details. Source: Hitzontv
