Number of Dead
I have not found the death tolls quoted here (variously 2000, 4000 and 5,000) in a reliable source. Also, the later 2015 Baga massacre was reported as with potentially 2,000 dead the deadliest massacre in the history of Boko Haram (https://www.cbsnews.com/news/amnesty-boko-haram-may-have-killed-2000-in-deadliest-massacre/).
There are reliable sources suggesting a toll of 400-500, so I have amended the page to show this number:
https://edition.cnn.com/2014/06/05/world/africa/boko-haram-village-raids/index.html https://www.france24.com/en/20140605-nigeria-boko-haram-soldiers-massacre-military
I appreciate that the death toll number may be complex to calculate, for as killings at some nearby sites may or may not be counted as 'Gwoza' - therefore if anyone has reliable sources that show evidence of a higher number of dead, please do update this. Jay4283 (talk) 00:12, 17 March 2019 (UTC)
