was disheartening, as the Caretaker Chairman of Chibok Local Government Area, of Borno State, Yaga Yarkawa, raised alarm over renewed attacks perpetrated by the dredged Boko haram terrorists, in Chibok communities.
He said on Tuesday, November 21, that the sect attacked Thlaimaklama village, over the weekend, and that hundreds of people have been displaced.
Yarkawa, added that Boko Haram burned down houses, looted foodstuffs, and livestock, warning that Chibok is again under Boko Haram siege.
This came despite claims by the Military, and the Federal Government, that Boko Haram has been crushed, and finally defeateAd
while speaking in Maiduguri, where he had gone to receive food items donated by the State Government for onward delivery to the displaced people, said that contrary to claims by the Military, that Chibok is safe, there have been series of renewed attacks in communities, including Kuburmbula, Tsilari, Kamdzilari, Kuburnvwu , Kautikari, Kwada, Buftari, and Kakulmari villages, bordering Damboa, and Sambia forest.
He recalled, that the latest attack on Thlaimaklama village, saw Boko Haram cart away food items loaded in about 15 vehicles, after setting ablaze three vehicles, and several houses without confrontation.
The Chairman, pointed out that apart from recent attacks on the communities, the terrorists have resorted to burning of farm produce of his people, who were eagerly waiting for harvest.
Also speaking on the renewed attacks, Leader of Vigilante Group in Chibok, Commander Aboku, said that, “the boko haram terrorists, are always on the move, and this make it difficult to effectively monitor, and apprehend them with ease”.
He stressed that, just last week, in the course of their operations, the vigilantes were able to dislodge some of the terrorists, killing two, with recovery of two AK47 rifles, and a Hilux vehicle mounted with anti-aircraft gun.
Aboku, called on the Military to intensify efforts, by giving the vigilantes free hands to operate, as they know the terrain of the Sambisa forest, and the general operation area of Sambisa, Chibok, and Gwoza Local Governments better.
