Nigeria: Boko Haram massacre in Baga
Following reports of the massacre of large numbers of civilians by the Boko Haram armed group in the town of Baga in Nigeria's Borno state earlier this week, Amnesty International’s Nigeria Researcher Daniel Eyre said:

“The attack on Baga and surrounding towns looks as if it could be Boko Haram’s deadliest act in a catalogue of increasingly heinous attacks carried out by the group.
If reports that the town was largely razed to the ground and that hundreds or even as many as two thousand civilians were killed are true, this marks a disturbing and bloody escalation of Boko Haram’s ongoing onslaught against the civilian population.”
