Boko Haram has claimed responsibility of similar attack in the past. Thousands of people had lost their lives in Boko Haram attack. The Nigerian armed forces claimed they are making gains in the fight against Boko Haram. The military said, it has recaptured territory control by the militant group. It is very hard to verify what is happening on ground because media are not allow in the front line where the army is battling the group. Nigerian president has allied with neighbouring countries to fight the group which had prompted the group to carried out cross-boder attacks in Cameroon, Chad and Niger on several occasions. The Nigeria president's spokesman said recently that government is ready to negotiate with the militants if the true identity of there leaders are known.
