After killing 3 for helping soldiers, Boko Haram abducts 10 in same village
The people of Kalari village in Konduga Local Government Area of Borno State, has again been attacked by the terrorist Boko Haram group, who abducted 10 villagers; four women and six youths.
This was disclosed in Maiduguri on Tuesday by the Commandant of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps in Borno, Mr Ibrahim Abdullahi.
He said that the insurgents also invaded Mittiri, Akalli and Arribbari villages all in the same LGA.
Abdullahi said, “Our intelligence report had indicated that the insurgents are now operating in Dalla Fatimiri on about 10 motorcycles.
“Our men of Anti-vandalism and Intelligence Unit of the Command on Friday reported the kidnapping of four youths in Kalari village in Konduga local government area.”
He further disclosed that, following the decimation of the number of the terrorist by Nigerian soldiers, that the remnants of the group are now desperately recruiting more youths to sustain their fight in the state.

“This is a clarion call to Nigerians to be on the alert at all times and always report any suspicious activities around them to the security agencies. Internally Displaced Persons who are desperate to return to their liberated communities should desist from living in areas that are not properly secured by armed personnel,” he said.
Recall that Kalari was also invaded by Boko Haram insurgents on Saturday, who accused them of aiding the Nigerian military.
Kalari Abdiye village was said to have been invaded between 2:00 am and 3:00 am (0100-0200 GMT) on Saturday. The attack left three persons killed while one person was badly injured.

It seems this is a fight Nigeria and Boko Haram will fight forever! They killed three and the police or army didn’t see any reason to be at alert and secure the community. It’s shameful on our security system!

Despite all the promises of Buhari, Nigeria’s security system is not better, in fact, it is now worse than it used to be. How can Boko Haram abduct 10 villagers in day light and there was not security operative to disturb their operation?

The initiators of Boko Haram will know no peace for ever and ever. Their future generations to come will know no peace, they will all die untimely. They have wrecked Nigeria indeed.

Amen. But it is more than that. We need forensic investigation to know the politicians who rally support for the founder of this sect and why it was created at first. Nigerian government can’t blindfold us that they don’t people behind this Boko Haram insurgency.

Buhari can’t be silent about this matter anymore. Something has to be done finally to this matter. Enough is enough, Nigerians can’t be dying like fowls.
