In sizzling temperatures, Boko Haram timed their latest attack to coincide with the breaking of the Ramadan fast.
 
Most of the people Boko Haram killed in Gajigana, Borno state on Sunday, May 17, were too weak to flee after several weeks of fasting.

So when the terrorists stormed the sleepy community as folks were preparing to break their Ramadan fast after sundown, they met the locals at their vulnerable worst.

And left them for dead.

The Associated Press (AP) reports that Boko Haram would go on to kill at least 20 people in the first attack of its kind in northeastern Nigeria since the Muslim holy month began.

News of the attack broke on Monday, May 18, 2020. But the killings occurred the day before.

If these fasting Muslims were weak, it is more likely because they didn't drink water during the day, which is a less well known part of a Ramadan fast.
