Boko-harams-spokesman

By Tochukwu Ezukanma | Lagos, Nigeria | May 15, 2013 – Members of a terrorist gang that has targeted and bombed civilian centers; murdering and maiming the innocent in droves deserve severe punishment.

By Tochukwu Ezukanma | Laghos, Nigeria | April 16, 2013 – Undoubtedly, Boko Haram is a terrorist organization.
