Boko Haram militants on Friday, slit the throats of 12 people in northeast Nigeria as the army was trying to evacuate civilians from the area in order to safe guard them from a planned air strike. A witness, Jonas Musa, who said his parents were among the victims narrated that soldiers had moved one wave of people from the hills around Gwoza, but before they could go back for the second, the attackers struck.

President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, says he is up to the task of combacting the activities of the Boko Haram sect, though admitting it would be a difficult one.
