Abuja-Sana

ISIS terrorists have taken hundreds of civilians hostage in northeast Nigeria.

Agence France-Presse quoted a local source in the city of Papakura Colo as saying, "Terrorists from (ISIS) took control of Cocoa yesterday evening and took hundreds of civilians hostage."

In turn, another security source confirmed that the attack had occurred and that warplanes had been brought in from Maiduguri, the capital of Borno State, to address the situation.

Cocoa is located near the city of Greater Baga on the shores of Lake Chad in an area controlled by the terrorist organization (ISIS) in West Africa, which split from the Boko Haram terrorist group in 2016, where it launches attacks targeting in particular the Nigerian army, killing large numbers of soldiers.
