For several days, the killers lived peaceably among their future victims, sharing their dormitories and eating their food.
Then, on Saturday afternoon, they took out their guns, rounded up the people like cattle and slaughtered them one by one.
This was the nightmare recounted by survivors of a massacre that unfolded in the rice fields of northeastern Nigeria on Saturday.
The bloodbath set a new standard of brutality in Boko Haram's 11-year-old jihadist insurgency.
Seventy-six people died, according to the authorities. Many were impoverished farm workers who were tied up before their throats were slit.
A traumatised survivor aged 24, who can be called Abdul, said the murderers posed as labourers who had come to the fields in Koshobe, Borno state, to do seasonal work.
"I ran errands for them, getting them food and washing their plates," said Abdul, who came with hundreds of others from Kebbi, a poor region 1,000 kilometres (600 miles) away.
Around 40 jihadists were involved in the massacre, according to survivors.
- 'Ploy' -
In the early afternoon of Saturday, they took out their guns and herded about 60 workers in front of an abandoned building, said Abdul.
"They separated the aged (from) the rest of us and said we should take turns to pay homage to their leader who was in the house," he said.
"But it was only a ploy because whoever went in never came out."
"At a point one of the insurgents guarding us told us that we were being slaughtered and asked us to flee," he said. "I was one of the few lucky ones."
As he fled, he witnessed the unbearable: "The assailants then went on a killing spree, seizing workers on rice fields, tying them up and slitting their throats."
It appears that the jihadists also targeted workers who were from the nearby village of Zabarmari, even though the village had a protection deal with Boko Haram.
Bello Muhammad's younger brother Ali, aged 20, was among those killed.
"They asked who among them was from Zabarmari and my brother immediately stepped forward and was asked to enter the house where he was slaughtered," he said, recounting what was said to him by a witness.
"There was an agreement that the jihadists would never attack Zabarmari residents, which was why Ali was quick to step forward, thinking he would be spared."
Forty-three corpses were found in the building, and 33 have been found in the rice fields. More, it is feared, have yet to be discovered.
- Search for bodies -
Teams continued the search for bodies on Tuesday, plodding through the expansive marshland on foot, trudging behind tractors.
"It is a tiring job because regular vehicles can't move in the difficult terrain because they will definitely get stuck," said Abdullahi Umar, a member of the search team.
He described the search as "dangerous" because Boko Haram operates in the area, which has footpaths that link to its haven in the Sambisa forest.
At least 36,000 people have been killed and two million displaced since the jihadists launched their bloody campaign in northeast Nigeria in 2009.
The UN, in an early account of the latest massacre, said that the assailants arrived by motorbike, and gave a preliminary death toll, since retracted of 110.
It has not been ruled out that several groups may have taken part.
On Tuesday, Boko Haram said it was "responsible for what happened around Maiduguri in recent days... especially in Zabarmari."
The killing, it said, was in retaliation for the death of one of its members who had been arrested by villagers and handed over to the authorities.

Boko Haram claims Nigeria farm massacre as toll rises to 76
The Boko Haram jihadist group on Tuesday claimed responsibility for a brutal massacre of farm workers in northeast Nigeria over the weekend as the death toll rose to 76.
The grim search for bodies continues after gunmen on motorbikes attacked the area outside Borno state's capital Maiduguri on Saturday, slaughtering dozens of labourers in rice fields near the village of Zabarmari.
It was initially unclear which Boko Haram faction was behind the assault, but the main group loyal to shadowy leader Abubakar Shekau said in a video Tuesday it was "responsible for what happened around Maiduguri in recent days... especially in Zabarmari."
Borno state information commissioner Babakura Abba Jatau meanwhile said the death toll had risen from 70 to 76.
"Forty-three bodies were buried on Sunday and another 33 were buried on Monday," he told AFP, adding that the death toll could rise further.
"Residents of Zabarmari village where the victims were buried said many more bodies could be scattered in the marshy rice fields."
The United Nations on Sunday said that 110 civilians were killed, but later scaled that back to "tens" of victims, admitting its initial toll was "unconfirmed".
The bloodletting centred on the village of Koshobe, where Boko Haram fighters tied up farm workers and slit their throats.
The Boko Haram video appeared to confirm reports that the attack was waged to seek revenge on villagers for seizing the group's fighters and handing them over to the authorities.
"You thought you would apprehend our brethren and hand him over to the military and live in peace?" a Boko Haram jihadist said in the video.
On Tuesday local teams continued the search for bodies, ploughing through the expansive marshland on foot, trudging behind tractors.
"It is a tiring job because regular vehicles can't move in the difficult terrain because they will definitely get stuck," said Abdullahi Umar, a member of the search team.
He described the search as "dangerous" because Boko Haram insurgents operate in the area, which has footpaths that link up to the group's Sambisa forest enclave.
At least 36,000 people have been killed and two million displaced since Boko Haram launched its jihadist insurgency in northeast Nigeria in 2009.
In 2016, the group split into two groups -- the main faction led by Abubakar Shekau and the IS-affiliated Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP).
Both groups have been blamed for increasing attacks on civilians they accuse of spying for the army and pro-government militia.
The jihadist violence has also spread into neighbouring Niger, Chad and Cameroon, prompting a regional military coalition to fight the insurgents.

Umaro S. Embaló/Presidente de Concórdia Nacional
Numa reunião com 18 partidos sem representação parlamentar, que o tinham apoiado nas eleições presidenciais, Sissoco Embaló pediu desculpas ao Alto Comissariado de Luta Contra Covid-19 e à população guineense, reconhecendo que, sendo presidente da República tem que ser “exemplar”.
O chefe de Estado explicou que antes da sua deslocação a leste, tinha mandado máscaras para as pessoas que iriam à sua receção usarem, mas em Gabú, o número de pessoas “ultrapassaram as expetativas” e encontraram muita gente sem máscara.
Esta é a primeira vez que o presidente pede desculpas públicas, por ter assumido uma atitude, desde que foi investido “simbolicamente” a 27 de fevereiro deste ano.
Umaro Sissoco Embaló cancelou a deslocação às outras regiões, depois de ter recebido uma nota de lamento pelo Alto Comissariado de Luta contra Covid-19.
