In fresh attacks by Nigerian terrorists group Boko Haram on the town of Baja this Wednesday, there have been reports of bodies lying all over the streets as hundreds are feared dead. According to bbc reports, Niger soldiers who were originally stationed there were absent during the time of the attack.
Nigerian officials told bbc that most parts of the town had been set on fire.
