The terrorists eventually overrun the soldiers and descend upon the school, shouting “Allahu Akbar” and “We are Boko Haram.” The frightened girls are rounded up. A terrorist leader makes an announcement: “If you want to die, sit down here. We will kill you. If you don’t want to die, you will enter the trucks.”
