Islamist terror group Boko Haram has kidnapped hundreds of women and children at a school following a massive attack on the town of Baga earlier this month, according to an eyewitness.
'Boko Haram took around 300 women and kept us in a school in Baga', one unnamed woman was quoted as saying by Amnesty International in a statement.
'They released the older women, mothers and most of the children after four days but are still keeping the younger women.'
Meanwhile, Nigeria's president has made a surprise visit to the heartland of the Boko Haram movement to meet survivors of the massacre which saw an estimated 2,500 people slaughtered by Islamist militants.
The president's visit comes just a day after new images obtained by Amnesty International show the devastation of the assault - with more than 3,700 structures including houses and schools completely destroyed in the towns of Baga and Doron Baga.
One witness of the attack described how the ruthless terror group were shooting indiscriminately, killing even small children and a woman who was in labour.
The terror group shocked the world last year when its fighters kidnapped 276 schoolgirls from a boarding school in the town of Chibok, in Nigeria's north-east. Dozens escaped, but 219 remain missing.
Meanwhile Gordon Brown, UN special envoy for education, urged the world to condemn the use of young girls as suicide bombers by Boko Haram, calling it 'barbaric.'
At least 19 people were killed on Saturday when a young girl, thought to be aged about 10, blew herself up at a crowded market in the northeast Nigerian city of Maiduguri, the Red Cross and local vigilantes said.

UN flexing it’s muscles.
awaiting the official flurry of selfies and hashtags the administration will unleash on them for this greater attack.
Nah can’t be, Islam is the religion of peace don’t ya know
Have you ever wondered about all the great AFRICAN-Americans in this country continually whine about racism, but while Genocide is taking place in AFRICA against their very own heritage by Islam, not a peep??
So who is it that really hates blacks?
Where is the outrage by the West? Where the hell is Obama? Probably playing his 1000th round of golf or partying in Hollywood!
When is the world going to wake up to the threat of Radical Islam and take a stand!!!
Obama doesn’t give a rat’s ass about them....they aren’t MUSLIM.....that’s why they are getting massacred and kidnapped!!!
Nigeria should send some troops to be trained by the SAS and then turned loose on these thugs. Get them in their lairs.
On the other hand I’d bet that most of the BH units could be found by drone or satellite surveillance and taken out by stand off weapons. Not that our Musilim-in-Chief would do anything to stop BH.
To Boko Haram:
#HEYQUITTHAT
There. My work is done.
This isn't genocide. It's ordinary Slavery. The young women are going to be doing what, missionary work for Mohammed?
Africans enslaving Africans.
Not a paleface in sight. Where's Sharpton when ya need him?
The return of the Sealous Scouts.
Has anyone else considered that, THAT’S all the whole Jihadi thing is.... a crusade for access to females?
If you think about the culture of the terrorists, there is NO social structure to speak of and what exists is a very backward, crude and retrograde abstraction of what it hardly EVER achieved in the best of circumstances.
Females must be purchased or traded for, so these alienated and stateless brutes just disguise their activities as a religious crusade, when in fact it’s just a way to kidnap females they cannot attain any other way?
Not much outrage over this. There’s more outrage over people saying “towelhead” than over towelheads murdering people.
Towelhead.
On the other hand, those who founded sects committed to erroneous doctrines proceeded in a way that is opposite to this, The point is clear in the case of Muhammad. He seduced the people by promises of carnal pleasure to which the concupiscence of the flesh goads us. His teaching also contained precepts that were in conformity with his promises, and he gave free rein to carnal pleasure. In all this, as is not unexpected, he was obeyed by carnal men. As for proofs of the truth of his doctrine, he brought forward only such as could be grasped by the natural ability of anyone with a very modest wisdom. Indeed, the truths that he taught he mingled with many fables and with doctrines of the greatest falsity. He did not bring forth any signs produced in a supernatural way, which alone fittingly gives witness to divine inspiration; for a visible action that can be only divine reveals an invisibly inspired teacher of truth.On the contrary, Muhammad said that he was sent in the power of his arms—which are signs not lacking even to robbers and tyrants. What is more, no wise men, men trained in things divine and human, believed in him from the beginning, Those who believed in him were brutal men and desert wanderers, utterly ignorant of all divine teaching, through whose numbers Muhammad forced others to become his followers by the violence of his arms.
--Thomas Aquinas (1260 A.D.)
Are the Nigerians any closer to rooting-out cowardice, incompetence, corruption, and Muslim infiltration in their army? To establishing armed and trained local militias?
Please don't misuse language. The only slavery that ever existed was in the US in the south before the civil war.
