Buhari mute as Boko Haram slaughter 30 Nigerians like rams
Boko Haram terrorists may have slaughtered 30 people in another attack on Nigerians but the government is obviously not aware of it.
Armed with knives and cutlasses, the terrorists reportedly slit the throats of 30 Nigerians in attacks across three villages last Saturday.
It was the same day the Nigerian Army clashed with Muslim Shiites, an incident that now dominates Nigeria media space.
Not only has the 30 slaughtered Nigerians been forgotten by the media. They seem to have never crossed the minds of Nigerian leaders.
President Muhammadu Buhari, who is currently fighting corruption to the standstill, is yet to comment on the killings.
Buhari also said nothing after seven Nigerian schoolgirls were reportedly burnt to death in a Kano hostel fire.
He has also not commented on the “extrajudicial” killing of Shiites in the hands of “overreacting” Nigerian soldiers.

The Boko Haram attack occurred at Warwara, Mangari and Bura-Shika, in Borno State.
All of the villages are located near Buratai, which is the hometown of Nigeria’s highest military chief Tukur Yusuf Buratai, AFP reports.
At least 20 other villagers were injured in the attacks.
“Most of the victims were slaughtered and most of the wounded [had suffered] machete cuts,” said Mustapha Karimbe, a civilian who has been helping the Nigerian military fight Boko Haram.
Boko Haram, now the deadliest terrorist group in the world, wants to establish an Islamic caliphate in Nigeria.
The group has reportedly killed at least 17,000 people since it turned violent in 2009.
The group also kidnapped over 200 Nigerian schoolgirls last year. The government has been unable to rescue the schoolgirls whom many now believe may have become radicalised..
