An alarming figure of people killed by the deadly Boko Haram sect has been revealed.
Amnesty International has revealed that the Boko Haram conflict has killed at least 1,600 people since the start of June in Nigeria, Niger, Chad and Cameroon and called for more protection for civilians.
An AFP tally puts the death toll at more than 1,320 in Nigeria alone since Muhammadu Buhari became president on May 29.
It will be recalled that Boko Haram claimed responsibility for three suicide attacks in the satellite towns of Kuje and Nyanya outside Nigeria’s capital Abuja on October 2, which killed a total of 18 people and injured 41.
This is really heartbreaking and something has to be done really fast about it.
