Description


According to Amnesty International: "Sadiq Ummar (not his real name), a 35-year-old trader, described to Amnesty International a mass arrest in Konduga, Borno State, in March 2013. He said that soldiers came to the village and told all men to assemble at the market square. He said: “They said that the purpose was to sort out Boko Haram... There were almost 400 men. They started screening us with someone with a mask, pointing at people who are separated from the rest. They sorted 82 men out and took them away. They said they were taking them to Bama. We did not know what happened to them.” The arrested men did not come back." [+]
