A woman who escaped from Baga, a town in
Borno State that recently fell under the control of
Islamist terrorists Boko Haram, has told the BBC
that the insurgent fighters are indiscriminately
raping girls and middle-aged women trapped in
the besieged town.
Boko Haram militant
Boko Haram militants overran Baga after sacking
a multi-national military base that had the task of
defending the town. It is believed that the
Islamist fighters may have killed as many as
2000 residents.
In one of the most intimate and chilling accounts
of the state of affairs in the captured town, the
escaped woman told a BBC Hausa service,
monitored by our correspondent in Maiduguri,
that Boko Haram fighters were engaged in
incessant acts of rape. She also disclosed that
the violent militants had instituted corporal
punishment of residents as well as the
enslavement of some of their victims.
The woman revealed that the militants were
forcing women to partake in the burial of corpses
that littered the town in the wake of the onslaught
against it. In addition, the Boko Haram fighters
were looting abandoned homes and shops in
search of food.
“The Boko Haram fighters are controlling Baga,
Doron Baga, Mile 3 and Mile 4. They are raping
our daughters and punishing our people,” the
woman said. She added: “They broke shops and
hauled away foodstuff. They are burning houses.
They don’t allow women to come out of the
houses that are left. And they are forcing women
to carry out burials.’’
The escapee also stated that the fighters preach
Islamic tenets each morning and evening.
