Woman Describes How Boko Haram Are Ruling And Raping In Baga by Timbi: 9:24pm On Jan 23, 2015
A woman who wants to remain unnamed has described to BBC Hausa Service, in her story she describes how Boko Haram are running the town and how bodies on the street have started decomposing. She also describes how women have taking interest in the militants and marriages being arranged.

“Boko Haram fighters are currently in control of the town. When they attacked, they destroyed shops and burnt down our houses.

There are lots of bodies scattered on the street and some have started decomposing.

The militants gathered the old men who could not leave the town and some strong women and forced them to bury the corpses because of the stench – I saw all of this.

Many of the women could not escape during the attack and we were all brought with the old men to the palace of the traditional ruler. I spent a week there.

In the mornings and evenings the insurgents would gather the women together and preach to them.

Two days after the attack, a man who claimed to be Abubakar Shekau [the leader of Boko Haram] came and addressed us. He said: “Today, where is your government from local to highest level? You are now under our control.” And he preached to us.

After that, Shekau and many of the insurgents left the town in the hands of some Boko Haram members who are from Baga.

These men have taken control of the young women in the town. They rape and abuse our daughters.

In the evening they choose ones who are neither pregnant nor nursing mothers and take them away. They don’t bring them back until the morning. If it is not rape what are they doing to them?

But there are some young women who show interest in the Boko Haram militants and want to marry them. I saw about 25 of them who were having good relationships with them.

The Boko Haram fighters have also taken over the hospitals. In the mornings, the militants come and ask if there is any woman who is not feeling well and they take her to hospital.

They took away all the goods in the market before destroying it. I counted close to 20 vehicles full of goods from the market and they feed the women from this.

One day we begged the militants to let us go home to shower and change our dirty clothes.

Some of them agreed and escorted us to the house. They waited outside while we went in.

We then got out from the other end of the house and fled. That is how we escaped.”

GMB has not condemn BH on his campaign trail nor asked the northern youths to rise against BH and defeat it.

Some Nigerian soldiers have spoken to CNN and they claimed that they are being outgunned by Boko Haram and that they had to buy their combat kit themselves, pay their medical bills themselves and that the morale of the troops is currently very low.

I empathize with that woman & the entire people of Baga but the only thing I can assure them is; their problems will be over as soon as GMB comes on board.

We were deceived into believing that Buhari was the villain in this movie titled "Battle For Supremacy" but they [GEJ & his minions] forget that the [Truth is strong enough to overcome all human sophistries.]

GMB; Arise & fulfill your Destiny In The Name of The Sugmad; The Eck & The Mahanta!
