Though local officials gave conflicting death tolls, they agreed on the massive number of fatalities.
More than 2,000 people were killed in attacks on 16 villages, Bukar said. He could not explain how he arrived at that toll.
But the local district head said hundreds of people had been killed, not thousands. The actual toll will be known after a headcount of households is complete, Hassan said.
This section of the article doesn't do much for my inner skeptic.
Yeah, I noticed that too. I think they might be playing up the amount of dead in the single attack, but BH are constantly raiding in the north anyways, so any actual difference in casualties will probably just be made up by a sum of deaths from those other attacks.
