I CANNOT GO TO MY VILLAGE AGAIN BECAUSE OF BOKO HARAM ATTACKS – BORNO LAWMAKER GROANS

Ali Ndume, Lawmaker representing Borno South Senatorial District at the National Assembly, has said he cannot go to his village again because of the increase in Boko Haram attacks.


He revealed that Boko Haram insurgents killed 75 persons in his community in Gwoza Local Government Area in one night.


Ndume made this known on Wednesday, August 26th, 2020, during a stakeholders’ meeting organised by Senate Committee on Special Duties and the North East Development Commission in Maiduguri, capital of Borno.


Ndume said; “If the senate committee would take time during their stay to go round some of the camps and even the nearby Konduga Local Government Area, we would all better appreciate what the people are facing.


“Even as a serving senator, I still cannot go to Gwoza, my home town, because it is not safe.

“Our security operatives are trying their best, and we have to give it to them. But the situation is overwhelming. People are dying every day, either from attacks or by hunger. We have lost many lives here.


“There was a time in my home town that about 75 elders, most of whom I know personally, were dragged by Boko Haram to the town’s abattoir and slaughtered like animals. Only two persons survived because their bodies were covered with other people’s’ blood and the assailants thought they were dead.


“In the same Gwoza, Boko Haram had in a single day lined up young men and summarily shot them dead. These were just some standout cases.”
