Following the deadly attacks by suspected members of Boko Haram Terrorists on Mafa village of Tarmuwa local government area of Yobe state, 37 out of the 87 corpses which were recovered from the scene are ready for burial on Tuesday morning, sources have said.

Mafa village is close to Shekau, the ancestral home of the late Boko Haram Leader/Founder, Sheikh Abubakar Shekau.

The deputy Governor of the State, Idi Barde Gubana would attend the burial on half the state governor, Mai Mala Buni who is outside the country on an official engagement.
