Boko Haram terrorists attacked the city of Baga and its surrounding villages and over 2,000 are reportedly dead from the assault.

“I received a message of the Christians Association of Nigeria, the association of Christian churches in Nigeria, which states that in that area Boko Haram has burned several churches and caused numerous victims” said Fr. Patrick Tor Alumuku, director of social communications of the Archdiocese of Abuja.

The attack from the terrorists started with a full assault on the military base in Baga.  Once the terrorists captured the base, they began to kill anyone who was fleeing the villages into the bush.

The slaughter was so significant that bodies are still laying in the streets because there are not enough people to bury them all.

“I escaped with my family in the car after seeing how Boko Haram was killing people … I saw bodies in the street. Children and women, some were crying for help,” Mohamed Bukar told Reuters.

Nigerian military officials say that jihadists from Libya and Mali have come to the country to reinforce the terrorist group.
