If Bokoharam can take care of this number of people for a period then their government is structural and systematic.


"1890 persons" is equivalent to two or three villages. Are Bokoharam still holding territories?

The problem with this brief is that at no time was their capture published by the media or announced by the military.

Why so much secrecy that breeds mistrust?

Where are the captives, no pix?
