The Nigerian Army troops, who carried out the liberation of Bama in Borno State, have discovered wells said to be loaded with corpses of people executed by retreating members of the Boko Haram Islamic Sect.
An intelligence source said the victims were some of the hostages who might have resisted the insurgents during their period of occupation in Bama.
Several other corpses of victims of the terrorists were found by the Bama River.
The terrorists, knowing that they were going to lose the town to the soldiers, were said to have unleashed mayhem on the town, executing those whose religious ideologies conflicted with theirs.
The troops were also said to be interrogating some residents of Bama to ascertain their true identities.
