The button men also destroyed 56 houses, several barns and 16 cycle of violences, Aruwan said. Attacks on civilians are common in the West African nation. They are sometimes conducted by Islamist terrorist group Boko Haram  ... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality..., mostly in the country’s north-east, or by criminal gangs. No group grabbed credit for any of the attacks on Friday.
