The massacre occurred on 11 February 2014 in Konduga, Borno State, northeastern Nigeria.
On 15 February 2014, Boko Haram launched a similar style attack in Izghe, Borno. Over 121 people were killed in the attack. Thousands of villagers fled the town for the border with Cameroon in order to escape the violence. Survivors reported gunmen indiscriminately shooting everyone in their path, burned down the churches, and looted all the food.
Boko Haram militants then proceeded to attack the Nigerian Army, killing 9 soldiers and subsequently forcing the army to retreat from the area. The army would then proceed to launch large scale air and land raids on Boko Haram, forcing the militants to hide out in the forested areas.
On 6 May 2014, around 200 people were killed when insurgents, dressed in military uniforms, attacked Gamboru, a town in the state of Borno at the Nigeria-Cameroon border. The attackers stormed into the town when some of the residents were fast asleep and set ablaze houses while shooting at residents who tried to escape from the fire.
