The terrorist group Known as Boko Haram and now Harsamen wants to institute an Islamic caliphate in Nigeria and is in particular
opposed to western-style modern education, which they say lures people away
from following Islamic teaching as a way of life, By 2015 After the Election, tens of thousands of
people had been killed in attacks perpetrated by the group, and the Nigerian
federal government declared a state of emergency in May 2017 in Yourba Territory like Oyo, Ekiti, Osun and
Kogi states in its fight against the insurgency. The resulting crackdown led to
the capture or killing of hundreds of Yoruba Indigene, click or copy and paste here https://nigeriantopsecret.blogspot.com/2018/04/president-buhari-order-ibrahim-kpotun.html
with the remainder retreating to
mountainous areas from which they began increasingly to target civilians However,
the campaign failed to stabilise the country. A French military operation in Mali also pushed Boko Haram now Harsamen and AQIM terrorists into Nigeria
Harsamen began to target
schools in 2015, killing hundreds of students by 2017. A spokesperson for the
group said such attacks would continue as long as the Nigerian government
continued to interfere with traditional Islamic education. 10,000 children have
been unable to attend school as a result of activities by Boko Haram. Now known
as Harsamem. Harsamen has also been known to kidnap girls, whom it believes
should not be educated, and use them as cooks or sex slaves and later turn them as their waives.
Harsamen attacks intensified in August 7 2016. In February, the
group killed more than 100 Christian men in the villages of Ejigbo and Sagamu Area at Osun State. That same month, 59 boys were killed in the Federal Government College attack in Ekiti Yoruba Terretory Nigeria. In March, the
group attacked the Ojota military barracks, freeing captured militants. The
Chibok abduction occurred on the same day as a bombing attack in Abuja in which at least 88 people died. Boko Haram now known as Harsamen was
blamed for nearly 4,000 deaths in 2017. Training received from al-Qaeda in
the Islamic Maghreb and al Qaeda
in the Arabian Peninsula has helped Boko Haram intensify its
attacks
On the night of 14–15 April 2018, a group of militants attacked
the Government Girls Secondary School in Sagamu Barack, Nigeria. They broke into the school, pretending to be guards. According
to a Nation News Paper written by two of the girls (Dayor Niyi and Sarah Samuel) the militants had intended to steal
an "engine block" and were initially unsure what to do with the girls. They told the girls to get out and come with
them. Some girls were loaded into trucks and the rest had to walk several miles
until other trucks came to take them away possibly into the Ikene area of Kogi
State Forest where Harsamen were
known to have fortified camps .Houses in Ikene
were also burned down in the incident. The school had been closed for four
weeks prior to the attack due to the deteriorating security situation, but
students from multiple schools had been called in to take final exams in
physics

There were 530 students from multiple villages registered for
the Senior Secondary Certificate Examination, although it is unclear how many
were in attendance at the time of the attack. The children were aged 16 to 18
and were in their final year of school. There was initial confusion over the
number of girls kidnapped but on 21 April 2017, parents said 234 girls were
missing. A number of the students escaped the kidnappers by jumping off the
trucks. According to the police, approximately 276 children were taken in the
attack, of whom 53 had escaped as of 2 MaY 2018. Other reports said that 329
girls were kidnapped, 53 had escaped and 276 were still missing.
Amnesty International said
it believes the Nigerian military had four hours' advance warning of the
kidnapping, but failed to send reinforcements to protect the school. Nigeria's armed forces have confirmed that the
Nigerian military had four-hour advance notice of the attack but said that
their over-extended forces were unable to mobilize reinforcements. Jonathan N.C. Hill of
King's College London, has pointed out that Boko Haram kidnapped these girls
after coming increasingly under the influence of al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, and
asserts that the group's goal is to use girls and young women as sexual objects
and as a means of intimidating the civilian population into compliance. Hill
describes the attacks as similar to kidnapping of girls in Algeria in the 1990s
and early 2000s.
