February 2014 Konduga massacre

The Konduga massacre took place in Konduga, Borno State, Nigeria on 11 February 2014. The massacre was conducted by Boko Haram jihadis against the inhabitants of this majority-Muslim town. At least 62 people were killed and according to a teacher 20 girls were kidnapped. Quotes We will never be frustrated; we will never give in to Boko Haram. Look at what these lunatics did; they burnt down mosques; churches, they burnt hapless people’s homes and so on; I don’t know whether to call them criminals or lunatics; the issue of people linking them with the religion of Islam should not arise, because as I always said Islam does not sanction what these lots are doing We will never give in to the antics of the Boko Haram. This is our land we will stay here and salvage it together Mr. Shettima said I have gone round the town and have seen that up to 70 per cent of the town have been razed to the ground. Most facilities have been burnt down; schools, hospital, dispensaries, government office and even the district palace have been burnt. We are willing to expend whatever resources it will take to restore back those facilities. Even if it cost us a billion naira to fix back the damages; so be it Tre governor saud External links Category:Terrorism in Nigeria Category:Islamic terrorist incidents in the 2010s Category:Massacres in Nigeria
