It's still under the control of Boko Haram.
Any numbers that are coming out of there are questionable.
And the eyewitness accounts, again, these are people who are fleeing for their lives,
They're not counting bodies.
They stay relating stories of what they've actually seen.
So we certainly know that something truly horrific has happened there, but what is the scale of
2,000 is a number that potentially at this point seems as if it may be too high.
But again, we don't really know.
And in some ways, it's probably like it.
We'll never know how many people have died up there.
The simple answer is that nobody knows.
Something clearly quite catastrophic has happened there, given the eyewitness accounts.
Survivors who've escaped the town have spoken about people being slaughtered like insects, running for their lives, and the refugees themselves have come up with various estimates.
One man saying that he believed as many as 500 people had been killed
He'd seen several groups of villagers that had been killed, at least, and the smallest group was five people.
Other accounts as high as 3,000.
The numbers are all over the place.
The initial reports of 2,000 stemmed from a local government official who was interviewed by journalists shortly after these massacres were first reported.
And he listed the figure of 2,000.
He wasn't in the town itself.
