Suspected Boko Haram militants killed eight people in Adamawa state and burned houses and churches. The governor of Niger state said he has formed a two-man committee to flush Boko Haram out of the state, following the discovery of a Boko Haram-linked terrorist group in Bida. The families of the more than 230 schoolgirls kidnapped by Boko Haram on April 14 were told that the militants have since conducted mass marriages and are sharing the girls as wives. Foreign Affairs Minister Wali said that terrorism now poses the main threat to African countries.
