BAGA MASSACRE AND THE CHARLIE HEBDO ATTACK

Baga town in Borno state of Nigeria experienced on January, 2 2015, what the world described as the "deadliest" massacre in the history of Boko haram attacks, bringing the death toll within the range of hundreds to as many as 2,000 people littered in bushes and streets.

Within the same week, Paris in France got hit by Islamist gunmen who attacked a weekly satirical tabloid house- Charlie Hebdo for satirizing Prophet Mohammed and killed up to 17 people including a police woman, some editors and cartoonists working for Charlie Hebdo plus other victims in a nearby supermarket where the gunmen shot sporadically.

And the outcome ? While French troops embarked on intensive search to fish out more terrorists in their hiding places after the death of three members of the Charlie Hebdo attackers, Nigerian Military is busy arguing over the death toll reports, saying 150 persons were killed as against the 2,000 reported.

So we plead that world leaders, United Nations and co should come to the aid of Nigeria in fighting insurgency. The more than one million people solidarity march done in Paris on Sunday, 11th January to say NO to terrorism ought to be repeated in Nigeria. Enough is enough !
