What a horrendous approach to begin the New Year.
On Saturday, January fourth, Boko Haram assaulted and assumed control over a multinational army installation in Baga town, Borno State, BBC reports. The Multi-National Joint Task Force (MNJTF), embodies troops from Nigeria, Niger, and Chad.
Numerous occupants were murdered in the town amid the attack, as the terrorists copied down structures and assaulted individuals randomly. The individuals who got away did so by escaping the town through vessel to Chad.
Onlooker records uncovered that the warriors fled amid the attack, bringing on additional frenzy among inhabitants.
“We were woken up by heavy gunshots, and we couldn’t identify where the shots were coming from.
They came through the north, the west and from the southern part of the town because the eastern part is only water. So, when we [went] towards the western part, we saw heavily armed Boko Haram men coming towards us.
The soldiers were trying to repel the attack but that wasn’t going to happen because a lot of the soldiers were without their guns and some were running into the town. When you see soldiers running away into the town – what are you to do, other than to just run away as well?,” said one of the survivors of the attack.
