Abuja, May 22 (RHC)-- At least 48 people have been killed in the latest suspected assault from Nigeria’s Boko Haram. Three villages were attacked in overnight raids near Chibok, the town where the Boko Haram seized nearly 300 schoolgirls last month.

They came just as the Boko Haram was accused of carrying out a twin bombing in the city of Jos that left at least 122 people dead. In the capital of Abuja, protesters rallying for the return of the kidnapped schoolgirls voiced concerns about growing insecurity.

In other news, the Barack Obama administration has deployed a battalion of U.S. Marines in the search for the missing schoolgirls. The White House informed the U.S. Congress on Wednesday it has sent 80 Marines to Chad, which borders Nigeria.
