According to Oliver Wendell Holmes, history has to be rewritten because history is the selection of those threads of causes or antecedents that we are interested in.

It is important to consider history. The events of history are collected in history. We think about the experiences—both positive and negative—that formed those moments as we go through time.

WITHIN NIGERIA highlighted three notable historical occurrences that took place in Nigeria on April 4 in an effort to raise awareness for enlightenment and educational purposes.

Boko Haram insurgents opened fire, killed 7 in a crowded market

On this day, April 4 in 2012, suspected Islamists killed seven people in a market in northern restive city of Maiduguri in the latest deadly attacks in the region.

According to reports, there was an attack yesterday afternoon at Monday market.

Some gunmen suspected to be members of Boko Haram stormed the market around 1330 hours disguised as customers.

Hassan, a trader said they opened fire on some shops selling insecticides and mosquito nets, killing seven traders.

He added that no arrests had been made.
“The shooting caused confusion in the market, which gave the attackers the chance to escape unnoticed before the arrival of security personnel,” he said.

Nigerian soldiers killed eleven Boko Haram militants in Gwoza, Borno

On this day, April 4 in 2021, atleast eleven members of the Boko Haram terrorist group were killed in an operation conducted in northeastern Nigeria by the military.

Many other terrorists were wounded and weapons, motorcycles and ammunition were seized during the operation carried out by the army in the Gwoza local government area of Borno state, according to a military official who asked not to be named due to security reasons.

Boko Haram launched a bloody insurgency in 2009 in northeastern Nigeria but later spread its atrocities to neighboring Niger, Chad and Cameroon, prompting a military response.

More than 30,000 people have been killed and nearly 3 million displaced in a decade of Boko Haram’s terrorist activities in Nigeria, according to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.

Violence committed by Boko Haram has affected some 26 million people in the Lake Chad region and displaced 2.6 million others, according to the UN Refugee Agency.
