The town of Gwoza in Borno has been left desolate as constant Boko Haram attacks have left many of the menfolk dead.
The women of the town have now been left with the task of burying the dead as the men who aren't dead have escaped the town for fear of being killed.
A large number of the community's residents were butchered by members of the dreaded sect last week.
According to a source who spoke to Sahara Reporters:
“We are very fatigued,”,“We are almost resigned to fate in our tedious and unusual work of burying scores of dead bodies that still litter our town.”
A second source said that the women had to bury the dead because “the men in our town and surrounding towns have either been slaughtered or have fled for fear of being killed.”
She further added that most of the residents left in the town were women, little children and the elderly who were spared by the terrorists.
Boko Haram has killed thousands of people in the North-East since the brutal insurgency began.
