BLOODBATH! Boko Haram slaughter 75 elders in Borno

Ali Ndume, Senator representing Borno South, has lamented over the activities of Boko Haram in the state.

Ndume lamented that he travel to his hometown due to the activities of Boko Haram in Borno State.

He disclosed that the insurgents killed 75 members of his community in Gwoza Local Government Area in one night.

Ndume disclosed Wednesday at a stakeholders meeting organised by Senate Committee on Special Duties and the North East Development Commission (NEDC) in Maiduguri.

“If the Senate Committee would take time during their stay to go round some of the camps and even the nearby Konduga local government, 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 bests, 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 Gwoza, 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 stand out cases.”
