BOKO HARAM: THE IMAGES OF Baga DESTRUCTION SHOWN.

Amnesty International said that the images of Nigerian towns attacked by Boko Haram show widespread destruction and suggest a high death toll.
Some 3,700 structures damaged or destroyed in Baga and Doron Baga this month, Amnesty said.
The reports that as many as 2,000 were killed, was disputed by the Nigeria’s government putting the toll at just 150.
Amnesty cited witnesses saying that militants had killed indiscriminately. It said the damage was “catastrophic”.
“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, an Amnesty researcher, said in a statement.
“It represents a deliberate attack on civilians whose homes, clinics and schools are now burnt out ruins,” he said. witnesses told the group that afterwards militants drove into the surrounding country, rounding up women, children and the elderly,
“Boko Haram took around 300 women and kept us in a school in Baga,” one woman, who Amnesty said had been held for four days, was quoted as saying.
“They released the older women, mothers and most of the children after four days but are still keeping the younger women.”
