Boko Haram terrorists again proved to be the barbaric by attacking on innocent people in Northeast Nigeria. It is reported in media that hundreds of people including Women and Children were brutally killed by the terrorists.

According to the reports, more than 100 people were killed in the attack in the first town. The fighters then razed several towns and villages in Borno state in the following days. 

Musa Bukar, head of the Kukawa local government area, said: "They [Boko Haram] burnt to the ground all the 16 towns and villages, including Baga, Doron-Baga, Mile 4, Mile 3, Kauyen Kuros and Bunduram."

The Boko Haram terrorist group has captured more than two dozen towns in northeast Nigeria in the last six months, and now they have taken the control of all three of Borno's borders with Niger, Chad and Cameroon.

Boko Haram reportedly used petrol bombs and explosives to torch Baga, a key fishing and commercial hub, and the surrounding villages on the shores of Lake Chad. Kalzeubet Pahimi, the Prime Minister of Chad has appealed the international community for helping the thousands of Nigerian refugees who have fled the Boko Haram attacks.

Nigerian Islamist group Boko Haram is creating tension from 2009; it has abducted more than 500 women and forced them for marriage and sex. School girls also been abducted by the group and forced them to convert into Islam. Physical tortures also reported in media. The world shocked to hear the abduction of 276 girls from a school in Chibok in April, 2014. The kidnappings triggered worldwide protests and military assistance from western governments, but 219 girls are still missing.

Nigerian military’s incapacity to control the attacks is being questioned by the people as this the largest army in western Africa.
