Horrible Nigerian military failure: Soldiers bolted as Boko Haram attacks, killing over 2000



Shock is simply the word that characterized the attack of Boko Haram on Baga on Saturday. The attack has been described as one of the worst attacks since the Islamist sect unsheathe claw and bared fangs.

According to MSN, it is believed that Boko Haram killed over 2000 villagers, including wobbling old men and women.
The worst was the sickening and saddening failure of the military to bother to make a semblance of fighting back.
It was gathered that immediately the Nigerian trooped sighted the Boko Haram as it attacked it military post in Baga, the soldiers bolted, leaving the civilians in the area to their fate.
Over 2000 did not live to tell the story of how they were slaughtered and how others managed to escape.
It is speculated that the wanton killings maybe connected to Boko Haram attempting to forestall the forthcoming elections.
But it’s doubtful if anything will halt the forthcoming elections.
Indeed, Nigerian leaders, politicians, lawmakers have become immune to the dirge and piling corpses in the land.
They turn blind eyes and deafened ears to the cries of the wounded and dying. The only beat they hear now, is the beating of the drum of the forthcoming elections.
