Nigerian journalist, environmental consultant and social media expert, @Abang Mercy, reports the horrors Journalists in the North East are going through, as they cover the terrorist group, Boko Haram, in the North East. Their lives are literally on the line, as they go about their jobs. These North East Journalists complain that they are not afforded the same protection, if any at all, their Western counterparts are given when they come to Nigeria to report on Boko Haram.

Boko Haram has many casualties, and the media is one of those.

Do see below:

"When the crisis started, we were too afraid to even call their names,we get phone calls from #BokoHaram" says a Journo reporting insurgents
