Boko Haram militants on motorcycles entered a village market and opened fire killing more than one hundred innocent civilians in one of the deadliest attacks in recent months.

A gang of more than fifty islamic terrorists presumed to all be Boko Haram militants entered a northern Nigerian village killing more than one hundred innocent people including families.

Series of Orchestrated Attacks

Nigerian village residents who were at the market, visiting places of worship, and enjoying time in their homes were the target of Islamic militants in a series of orchestrated attacks.

The Islamic terrorists burned buildings and homes after killing the victims similar to the heinous terror attack by Hamas against Israelis on October 7th, 2023 which started the war in Israel.

Boko Haram Islamists

Nigeria has been the place of many Islamic terror attacks most often with Boko Haram Islamists taking responsibility.

In the last decade over 1400 children mainly girls have been taken captive by Islamic terrorists.

Often the kidnapped female victims are raped and give birth to children of islamic terrorists, where the children become fatherless and a burden on the families of the girls when they are returned.

One of the parents told Amnesty International: “Our pain is endless because 14 of the girls came back with 24 children. We have with us grandchildren whose fathers are unknown to us. Our burden has now multiplied as we do not have the money to bear the additional burden of feeding, educating, and [providing] healthcare for our returnee children and grandchildren. This is in addition to the societal rejection and stigma that we are all facing. We are just hopeless!”

Massive Humanitarian Crisis

According to Associated Press (AP), Boko Haram has since broken off into different factions over the last few years.

Together the various Islamic terror groups operating in Nigeria account for the direct deaths of at least 35,000 people and the displacement of more than 2 million.

As well as triggering a massive humanitarian crisis with millions of people in dire need of foreign aid due to government corruption and worsening economic conditions.
