Amnesty International said last month that the Boko Haram conflict had killed at least 1,600 people since the start of June in Nigeria, Niger, Chad and Cameroon and called for more protection for civilians.

An AFP tally puts the death toll at more than 1,320 in Nigeria alone since Muhammadu Buhari became president on May 29.

Boko Haram claimed responsibility for three suicide attacks in the satellite towns of Kuje and Nyanya outside Nigeria’s capital Abuja on October 2, which killed a total of 18 people and injured 41.

on June 15, 2015, ten people were killed in twin suicide bombings in Potiskum, northeast Nigeria, a police source and a civilian vigilante assisting the military against Boko Haram told AFP on June 15. Eight vigilantes were killed in the first blast in the Igwanda area of the city, while two died in the second outside a tavern and brothel in the Dorawa area.

On Tuesday, Nigeria’s most senior police officer, Inspector General of Police Solomon Arase, said two people had been arrested on suspicion of masterminding the blasts.

The suspects’ identities were not disclosed but Arase said in a statement the arrests had “foiled another attempt… to undertake further attacks in the FCT (Federal Capital Territory)”.

Items recovered from the suspects included 12 “prepared and primed” home-made explosives concealed in soft drink cans, 28 electronic detonator parts and a “large quantity” of bomb-making equipment, he added.

Nigeria’s military has claimed a series of successes in recent months and has characterised the upsurge in attacks on civilian targets as desperation on the part of the Islamic State group-alled militants.

Attacks have also continued across the border. At the weekend, 41 people were killed and another 48 injured in triple explosions in Baga Sola, on the Chadian side of Lake Chad, where Nigeria meets Niger, Chad and Cameroon.

One targeted a fish market and two a refugee camp for those displaced by the violence.

Imagine the statistics! These are human beings and not chickens.

So, what has the whole sensational news about a retired General taken over from a 'bloody civilian' impacted on the war?

Because most Nigerians are idioots, their 'leaders' bank on the deficit to navigate their ways by diverting attention.

Now, the idiats are instead occupied with who becomes a cabinet member than question the wisdom behind electing a daft 'general' in war time.

smh

If 1,600 are dead in about 4 months, na God go save the remainder of Nigerians after 4 years.

No wonder the Nigeria Army don go spiritual... Even them know say na only God go save us.

Not Raid, Mortein or Body Odour, just God!

Buhari you see your life?

Speechless

Islam motto: there is no profit/gain in peace and tolerance, in jihad/war/raping we trust!!!

Blessed are those that do not expect anything good from this government for they shall not be disappointed

Ehen, its now that Amnesty International are crying their useless mouth.
Shebi they almost frustrate all efforts of GEJ and the military during his regime just because GEJ didn't give a damn about the western media and propagandas.
May thunder fire them, una wan start with this regime again. God no go gree for una.
Make Buhari wake up ooo cos this killing is completely opposite what he promised during his campaigns.
I salute GEJ and will advise Buhari to be watchfull of those wolves in sheeps clothing. Amnesty International is one of them.
May go bless Nigeria. May we be great again!!

APC change!!!
