Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau has claimed responsibility in the january 3 deadly attacks carried out on Baga and its surrounding towns saying that it a prelude to attacks yet to come.In a video recently released by the sect,they boasted:
“We killed the people of Baga. We indeed killed them, as our Lord instructed us in His Book We will not stop. This is not much. You’ll see.”
One civilian vigilante, who fled after hiding for three days, told AFP that he was “stepping on bodies” for five kilometres (three miles) as he escaped through the bush.
Hundreds of women and children were said to be still being held by the militants at a school and the home of a local lawmaker.
Some 20,000 people are said to have fled, many of them across the border into Niger and Chad, heaping pressure on the local authorities there, who fear they could soon be targeted.
“Heavy clashes” between Islamist fighters and Cameroon soldiers were reported in the far northern border village of Bonderi on Tuesday night in the latest in a series of confrontations.
Chad’s President Idriss Deby has sent a contingent of troops to help Cameroon repel the threat and has talked of recapturing Baga.
