TEHRAN, December 29 - Boko Hram terrorist group seized Nigerian fishing town of Baga , local and military sources reported on Friday.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - AP also quoting from a military source who spoke on condition of anonymity reported that Nigerian army forces fight to retake the area but they withdrew, suffering casualties.
The militants seized weapons from a military base, and torched a naval base on the shores of Lake Chad, BBC said.
The terrorists hoisted their flag in the city and warned the residents that a dire fate will await them if they refrain to obey the their [terrorists] commands, said one who had escaped from Baga.
Bgag is the local headquarters of the multinational task force, which includes troops from neighbouring states fighting the militants.
