Nigerian forces fight to reclaim northeastern town of Baga
Nigerian forces backed by air strikes are fighting to reclaim the northeastern town of Baga from Islamist militant group Boko Haram, which seized the town and a nearby military base at the weekend, a government spokesman said on Friday.
 
"Since the first attack last weekend on Baga, security forces have been actively pursuing the militants," Mike Omeri said in a emailed statement.
 
"Security forces have responded rapidly, and have deployed significant military assets and conducted airstrikes."
