TF!? Boko Haram Kill Over 2000 People In Baga Town Of Borno on Wednesday

The dreaded boko haram  has carried out a second attack on the key north-eastern town of Baga,Boko Haram fighters burnt down almost the entire town on Wednesday, after over-running a military base on Saturday, Musa Alhaji Bukar said. Bodies lay strewn on Baga's streets, amid fears that some 2,000 people had been killed in the raids, he added. Boko Haram launched a military campaign in 2009 to create an Islamic state. It has taken control of many towns and villages in north-eastern Nigeria in the last year. Mr Bukar, a senior government official in the area, said that fleeing residents told him that the town, which had a population of about 10,000, was now "virtually non-existent". "It has been burnt down," he said. Those who fled reported that they had been unable to bury the dead, and corpses littered the town's streets, he said. Boko Haram was effectively in control of Baga and 16 neighbouring towns, Mr Bukar said. Government troops abandoned the military base in Baga on Saturday, when the militants launched an assault. It hosted the Multi-National Joint Task Force (MNJTF), made up of troops from Nigeria, Chad and Niger. Set up in 1998 to fight trans-border crime in the Lake Chad region, the force more recently took on Boko Haram.

Thousands have fled Baga - many to Maiduguri, the capital of Borno state, and others to Chad.A large number reportedly drown as they crossed Lake Chad following Saturday's raid.

why are all these satanic agents killing people indiscriminately all over the world linked to islam, what does islam really teach, are the muslin leaders helping matters, does islam represent peace as proclaimed by some believers, the world need peace and it will not be long GOD will rise in defence of HIS people, repent all you that soak your hand with blood else your judgement, satan that you represent has being trying GOD from ages and had not and will never be victorious even for once, GOD is watching!!!
