Boko Haram was infamous for the 2014 Chibok School Abductions, where almost 300 schoolgirls were captured by the militant group. Although over half of the girls had escaped in the subsequent days, months and years with tales of rape and abuse and forced marriage/conversion, many dozens are still missing as of today.
Boko Haram had suffered serious setbacks due to international pressure and military force brought to bear on them in response to those attacks which crystallized in the 2015 West African Offensive, a mulitnational effort that largely reduced Boko Haram's occupied territory and destroyed many of its camps. Since then, while still violently active, much of their territorial control and power had been diminished. In 2019, Nigeria's President, Muhammadu Buhari stated that Boko Haram was "technically defeated" but after these recent attacks, it does not seem to be the case.
