Nigeria 'attempted
jailbreak' leaves more than 20 dead
Boko Haram attacks
have increased during the new year of 2014.
This BBC news story tells of the fire that prison guards at a facility
in Abuja opened after only one prisoner tried to escape. This one prisoner attempted to beat a guard
with his handcuffs in an attempt to escape then the guards opened fire in the
outside and inside of the prison. Twenty-one
people were killed unnecessarily and suspicions are arising. Some think that the guards were part of the
Boko Haram Islamist group. Moreover, many
are afraid that the human rights violations that the government is allowing
will lead more people to become recruits for the Boko Haram terrorists group.
