Witnesses Describe Horrors of Boko Haram Massacre

Revelation 6:3-4 NCV When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!" Then another horse came out, a red one. Its rider was given power to take away peace (prosperity, rest) from the earth and to make people kill each other (butcher, slaughter, to maim violently, in streets), and he was given a big sword (assassins sword, terrorist, loud, mighty, sore afraid).

Survivors of the Boko Haram conducted massacre in northern Nigeria last week are starting to arrive in the southern part of the country and are sharing horrific stories.

Witnesses say that a pregnant woman who was in the middle of delivering a baby boy was killed by the terrorists.  The survivors say that women and children were killed indiscriminately by the terrorists who never stopped to ask if the people were Muslim or of other faiths.

“They killed so many people. I saw maybe around 100 killed at that time in Baga. I ran to the bush. As we were running, they were shooting and killing,” one witness said.

Amnesty International has released satellite photos of the region showing the devastation left in the wake of the terrorists.  Actual ground footage has been unavailable as the Islamists still control the area.

“These detailed images show devastation of catastrophic proportions in two towns, one of which was almost wiped off the map in the space of four days,” Daniel Eyre, Nigeria researcher for Amnesty International, told the Christian Post.

“Of all Boko Haram assaults analyzed by Amnesty International, this is the largest and most destructive yet. It represents a deliberate attack on civilians whose homes, clinics and schools are now burnt out ruins.”

“The numbers are adding up fast and it is becoming clearer and clearer that the Nigerian governments, both federal and states, are failing resoundingly in their responsibility to protect innocent lives and prevent this mass atrocities from going forward. These atrocities are increasingly becoming worse and worse as the times go by,” said Pastor Laolu Akande, the executive director of the Christian Association of Nigerian Americans.
