A police officer stand guards during a demonstration calling on government to rescue kidnapped school girls of a government secondary school Chibok, during workers day celebration in Lagos, Nigeria. Thursday, May, 1. 2014, Scores of girls and young women kidnapped from a school in Nigeria are being forced to marry their Islamic extremist abductors, a civic organization reported Wednesday. At the same time, the Boko Haram terrorist network is negotiating over the students' fate and is demanding an unspecified ransom for their release, a Borno state community leader told The Associated Press. He said the Wednesday night message from the abductors also claimed that two of the girls have died from snake bites. The message was sent to a member of a presidential committee mandated last year to mediate a ceasefire with the Islamic extremists, said the civic leader, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to speak about the talks.

Yola, (lei)- Penggembala ternak Muslim dicurigai membunuh empat polisi di negara bagian Adamawa, wilayah timur laut Nigeria, kata pejabat polisi setempat, Jumat.
Empat polisi tewas pada Kamis malam saat mempertahankan sebuah desa di wilayah Numan dari para penggembala, yang menyerang permukiman tersebut sebagai pembalasan atas bentrokan mematikan sebelumnya, kata Othman Abubakar, juru bicara kepolisian negara tersebut.
Dalam bentrokan sebelumnya, penyerang tidak dikenal menewaskan lebih dari 30 penggembala ternak di Numan.
Numan baru-baru ini menjadi titik gejolak penggembala ternak dengan petani Kristen, yang sering terjadi secara luas di Nigeria, karena masing-masing kelompok saling memperebutkan hak masing-masing untuk mendapatkan padang rumput dan pertanian.
