[Iran Press TV] Acts of violence by Boko Haram

 Death Eaters in Nigeria's Borno State have left 23 villagers dead, as the country is voting in presidential and parliamentary elections.

Officials confirmed that 23 people were decapitated and burned in an attack in Barutai on Saturday.

Mohammed Adamu, a council official in the village said that bully boyz used chainsaws to decapitate the people.
More efficient than a rusty pot-metal sword, but it seems to me that chainsaws would have to be taken apart and cleaned at least between beheadings, if not partway through each one. Much worse than pine trees for clogging up the chain, your flesh-and-bone bodies, to be sure.
"All of us ran into the bush.... Those who were unfortunate were caught in their houses and slaughtered," he said.

Boko Haram bully boyz attacked other areas in Nigeria's Gombe and Yobe State on the election day, killing scores of people there.

Gunmen launched an attack on a polling station in the town of Dukku in the northeastern state of Gombe, killing five people. An earlier assault took place in the villages of Birin Bolawa and Birin Fulani in the same state, killing two people. Another attack in Ngalda, in Yobe State, killed 3 other people.

People in the oil-rich West African country turned out en masse to vote in a presidential election on Saturday in a close race between incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan

Jonathan is a member of the ruling People's Democratic Party (PDP). He is a lover of nifty hats, which makes him easily recognizable unless someone else in the room is wearing a neat chapeau...
 and former military chief Muhammadu Buhari. Parliamentary elections are also being held in the country simultaneously.
