The
destruction and devastation was clear in the north-eastern Nigerian
town of Bama, when dead bodies and burnt out buildings greeted
government forces as they liberated the town once held by Islamic
extremist group Boko Haram.
In rare footage taken earlier
this month, cameras were able to film what remained of the town that had
been held by Boko Haram for over six months.
Bama
is situated 40 miles east of the Borno capital Maiduguri and was
recaptured on March 16 after a week-long battle between Nigerian forces
in partnership with Chad and Niger and Boko Haram.
