A good number of
children were among hundreds of people killed on Saturday after the dreaded
Boko Haram attacked some villages in Borno and Yobe states.
The attack on
Borno State was on a military base at the fishing community of
Baga, near Lake Chad.
The force is made
up of troops from Nigeria as well as Niger and Chad.
Residents scampered
in different direction to avoid being mowed down by the sect members.
The soldiers in
the base were caught unawares by the insurgents.
A resident said: “They
did not spare anybody as they shot at men, women and even children who were
fleeing into the bush.”
On Thursday, the
sect abducted 40 youths in Malari. They were believed to have been taken to taken
to a location called Modube, a new base of the sect close to the notorious
Sambisa forest.
As the Boko Haram
continues to kill women and children, the Nigerian government continues blindly
in political campaigns as the 2015 election approaches. The corpses continues
to increase and pile.
