Baga Massacre: “They came in the night" - Survivors Tell Their Stories



Baga, a town in northern Borno State on the Nigerian border with Chad Republic, is famous for its economic potentials in trading in stock fishes, which are produced, processed and transported to places both within and outside the country.
But last week, the town made news headlines as a result of the massacre of about 200 people following a clash between soldiers attached to the Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF) and Boko Haram insurgents.
