The report states that the terrorists went house to house in Gwoza, in Borno state, northern Nigeria; killing or forcing some 10,000 residents to flee, while they destroyed the town.

Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau, and his group is suspected of working with the ISIS terror group, as Shekau, on a video, congratulated ISIS for its "reign of terror."

According to Christian Today, "Boko Haram is thought to be responsible for the deaths of 13,000 people since it became active in 2009."
