AI: Boko Haram Killed Woman In Labour During Attack by Emmaomotob(m): 8:18am On Jan 15, 2015
Lagos - Boko Haram fighters killed a woman as she
was in labour during what is feared could be the
deadliest attack in the militants' six-year
insurgency, Amnesty International claimed on
Thursday.
The human rights group said one witness to the
assault on Baga, on the shores of Lake Chad in
northeast Nigeria, told them the woman was shot by
indiscriminate fire that also cut down small children.
"Half of the baby boy [was] out and she died like
this," the unnamed witness was quoted as saying.
Amnesty said this week that hundreds of people, if
not more, may have been killed in the attack, which
began on 3 January and is thought to have targeted
civilian vigilantes helping the military.
"Sensational" claims
"They killed so many people. I saw maybe around
100 killed at that time in Baga. I ran to the bush. As
we were running, they were shooting and killing," a
man in his fifties was quoted as saying.
Another woman added: "I don't know how many but
there were bodies everywhere we looked."
The testimony chimes with claims from local
officials that huge numbers were killed and that of
witnesses spoken to by AFP, who described seeing
decomposing bodies littering the streets.
One man who escaped from Baga after hiding for
three days said he was "stepping on bodies" for 5km
as he fled through the bush.
Nigeria's military, which often downplays death tolls,
said this week that 150 people died, dismissing as
"sensational" claims that 2 000 may have lost their
lives.
Security analysts have said that it may be
impossible to know exactly how many were killed,
with the town and surrounding area still in rebel
control and access impossible.
Satellite images
Amnesty on Thursday also published satellite
images of Baga and Doron Baga, 2.5km away, which
it said showed the scale of the attack.
Aerial shots of the two towns - which have been hit
previously by fighting - were shown the day before
the Islamists moved in and four days later, after they
had razed homes and businesses.
"These detailed images show devastation of
catastrophic proportions in two towns, one of which
was almost wiped off the map in the space of four
days," said the group's Nigeria researcher, Daniel
Eyre.
More than 3 700 structures were damaged or
completely destroyed - 620 in Baga and more than 3
100 in Doron Baga, Amnesty said but added that the
number could be higher.
Local officials have said Baga and at least 16
surrounding settlements were burnt to the ground
and at least 20 000 people fled.
Medical charity Doctors Without Borders said on
Tuesday that its team in the Borno State capital,
Maiduguri, was providing assistance to 5 000
survivors of the attack.
Elections
The UN refugee agency has said that more than 11
300 Nigerian refugees have fled into neighbouring
Chad.
Eyre said the eye-witnesses and images reinforced
the view that the attack was Boko Haram's "largest
and most destructive" in its fight to establish a
hardline Islamic state in northeast Nigeria.
The statement added: "The deliberate killing of
civilians and destruction of their property by Boko
Haram are war crimes and crimes against humanity
and must be duly investigated."
At least 300 women were said to have been rounded
up and detained at a school, witnesses told
Amnesty, adding that older women, mothers and
children were released after four days but younger
women kept.
The Baga attack came before presidential and
parliamentary elections in Nigeria next month and
an upsurge in violence apparently designed to
undermine the legitimacy of the vote.
On Saturday, 19 people were killed when explosives
strapped to a young girl said to be as young as 10
detonated at a crowded market in Maiduguri.
Four people were also killed when two female suicide
bombers hit another market in the commercial
capital of neighbouring Yobe State, Potiskum, on
Sunday.

The average Ab0ki is a coward and you are a coward for fearing they will come south.

You no get cutlass for house?

As far as I am concerned bokos can never cross river Niger. They tried it with Uthman Dan Fodio but the Bini empire resisted them. They know the region were those more cowardly than them reside. That region is the only place where their demonic religion was imposed and still practiced foolishly till this day.

To further show how cowardice your ancestors were, when the British arrived they met no single resistance by your ancestors. If anything they were relieved to have the British check the Jihadis. This can be seen from history were the likes of the then Oba of Bini, Jaja of Opobo, the Nana of Itsekiri are celebrated today for their resistance stance. Where in your history of cowards is there any true resistance figure? The answer is none!

Lol cowards go and hold gambari's hand.

This is why Boko haram cant be defeated. When Paris was attacked, the whole country of France stood together as one and the terrorists were killed and some arrest were made. but in Nigeria, we see boko haram as a northerner problem even tho southern and Christians are also been killed. All Nigerians need to unite as one to defeat boko haram. The civilians are not the cause of boko haram problem because they are the one being killed and kidnapped. why would boko continue to kill its people if they support them?

Shatap your slave mouth, you pleb.

When fools like you keep celebrating bokos every day for political mischief and gain.

Let me tell you now if you don't know; when the ND and SE pull out, you will have your glorious Arewastan and Shekau will be appointed Emir of the newly created Oduastan with Buhari as your Kalifar.

In war time combatants in civilian clothing are summarily executed when captured.

Boko haram ranks and files still keep increasing by the day. The group keeps enjoying strong support and sympathy from a broad base of norther Muslims.

If not for the Christian northerners I would have called for the northeast to be bombed back to the camel era.
