According to Amnesty International: "Alhaji Dani (not his real name), a 30-year-old fish dealer, told Amnesty International how he was arrested, along with hundreds of others, at Baga market in Maiduguri on 29 May 2013. He said that the soldiers surrounded the market and began screening the men with the assistance of three masked informants: “I happened to fall victim to one of the three masked men – he pointed me out. In total around 300 people were pointed out by the men – sellers, dealers and customers alike. While the people were being selected, the soldiers would hit the selected ones with rifle butts and push them along. “They packed us all inside eight different trucks – one on top of the others – our hands were tied with nylon rope behind our backs but we were not blindfolded.” Alhaji said that the soldiers took the men to Giwa barracks. He and six others were released three days later, but he did not know what happened to the other detainees." ^[+]
