Nigerian villagers plead for UN protection from Boko Haram
Villagers from a northeast Nigerian town where Boko Haram Islamists abducted more than 200 schoolgirls on Friday appealed to the United Nations to intervene because of worsening violence in the region.
The community, which originates from the Chibok district of restive Borno state, claimed militants were running amok in their homeland, seemingly with impunity.
