Fall of Bama

On 1 September 2014, militants from Boko Haram attacked the town of Bama, Borno State, Nigeria, seizing control of the city. The attack was the fourth attempt to take control of the city since the start of the Boko Haram insurgency in 2009, with three assaults in 2013 and early 2014 ending in failure. At least 50 civilians were killed in the aftermath of the battle.
