Boko Haram Takfiri terrorists have torched homes in Nigeria’s northeastern town of Baga, forcing residents to flee.

The fires forced large numbers of the residents to flee to the Borno state capital Maiduguri.

On Saturday, the terrorrists told residents of the city, which is in control of Boko Haram, to leave before they set fire to their homes ahead of the arrival of Nigerian troops attempting to retake the city.

Bama has been in control of the terrorists since early September when it was seized along with several towns and villages in northeastern Borno, Adamawa and Yobe states on the border with Chad, Cameroon and Niger.

The Boko Haram terrorists killed large number of the town’s population, forcing hundreds of residents to seek escape.

Boko Haram recently declared allegiance to the IS Takfiri group which is perpetrating heinous crimes against humanity in areas under its control in Iraq and Syria.
