"Abul Qaqa, who claims to be a spokesman for Boko Haram, said the group was behind the Damaturu and Maiduguri bomb attacks. His claims could not, however, be independently verified.

Nigeria attacks: 'Boko Haram bombed my church' 16 March 2012 John Nubrim is visibly traumatised after fleeing the north-eastern Nigerian town of Maiduguri following attacks by the militant Islamist group, Boko Haram. "Only God knows how I escaped from that Maiduguri. They bomb over there. They burned my shed. All my property, all my things, are there," said the young electronics trader, before letting out a short scream. "My parents, my brother and one of my sons died there." He is one of almost 2,000 people from the largely Christian south to take advantage of a free bus service provided by elders from the south-eastern Igbo community, in response to a threat for southerners and Christians to leave the mainly Muslim north. About 100 people have been killed in a series of attacks on churches and Christians across the north. At a camp for the displaced in Imo State, a woman told me: "I went to church. They bombed there. I went inside the bush. I stayed there for three days." I asked if her husband knew she was here. "He died there," she said. B.

OJ,
I am disappointed, I didn't expect such uncivilized reaction for a simple question.

Boko Haram is the third most popular thing associated to Nigeria after OIL and corruption by foreign press. I agree thatoil and corruption are 1 and 2 but Nollywood should be ahead of Boko Haram. But, after the bombing of UN by Boko Haram,I can guaranty that somebody will pay for it.My advice to Boko Haram is not scratch any US citizen body Otherwise, they will tenfold. Negotiation or not, those who are involvedin the killing of fellow Nigerians regardless of reason must be made to answer to their crimes. Boko Haram is terror organization thatis killing other Nigeria without a legitimate reason other than impose their view on the country.I can not comprehend the Boko Haram reason for killing poor Nigerians and what do they gain from doing it.I do not know the basis of thecontention because they have the same rights as every other Nigerians. Furthermore, nobody trample on any of their constitution rights.Some Nigerians who have access to the media are calling for Negotiation with Government and Boko Haram but none of them can us whatBoko Haram actually want, Please, can someone tell me what exactly is Boko Haram killing their fellow people. Derivative Honestly, I have notread in any media where Boko Haram made demand other than for the government to releases their criminals members.Yinka Olagoke
