A vigil for victims of Boko Haram

Sunday night with Nikki Tapper

Available for over a year

Last month saw criticism that attacks in Baga, Nigeria by Boko Haram militants were ignored. Nigeria's government disputed reports that as many as 2,000 were killed. But Amnesty says satellite images show some 3,700 structures damaged or destroyed in Baga and Doron Baga, suggesting a high death toll. A vigil for the victims of the attack took place at the University of Birmingham in January 2015, to show solidarity with Nigeria and raise awareness of the atrocities taking place there. In this extract we hear from some of those who took part in the event.
