Gunmen suspected of being members of Boko Haram entered the village of Izghe, Borno State in the early hours of the morning and murdered 105 men and 1 elderly woman. A few days later, a repeat massacre occurred in the same village. This was part of a wave of attacks by Boko Haram in February 2014; the Konduga massacre took place on the same date. A group of people went to a Christian farming village of Izghe in Borno state and killed up 106 people. "Male residents of the village were the main target of shootings Saturday evening." The suspected gunmen were members of Boko Haram. "Killing over 100 people, the Boko haram are suspected in the attack of a small farming village, Izghe, in Borno, Nigeria." One of the people that were involved in the attack had to jump fences to save his life. "A survivor of the attack scaled the fence of his house and crawled for about 40 minutes to safety."
