She said youths of Baga and those from DoronBaga, who have been brainwashed have taken full control of the town, including military, government and mission hospitals located in the town.
The woman, with her name concealed, spoke to BBC Hausa yesterday, saying the town has been ransacked with shops and the market bungled and burnt.
“They have taken custody of women in Baga. Youth who have joined Boko Haram in Baga and those of Doron Baga were brainwashed and are in control of the town.
“Our daughters are being raped, they abuse people, they broke shops, they vandalise and burnt our houses. I saw all these with my naked eyes.
“They don’t allow the girls to move even an inch. Most of them have swollen legs. Hundreds of them are there stranded. The aged, who could not run away, have been gathered to get rid and bury the corpses that litter the streets, so as not to disturb them with odour,” she said.
“They don’t have an established school, but they daily gather women in the morning and evening for lectures and sermons.
