Residents of Bama and Gwoza local government councils in Borno state are on the run again for fear of eminent violence due to the influx of Boko Haram sects into the two council areas in Borno state.
The residents who were seen at Muna garage in Maiduguri, the Borno state capital in great number with the few things they were able to carry from their homes on Saturday told reporters in Maiduguri that all was not well as Boko Haram’s presence in their local government was becoming increasingly worrisome.
A resident of Bama, Mala Jalomi told DailyPost Correspondent that, since last week, people have started leaving Bama and Gwoza through Dickwa to Maiduguri to save their lives.
Mala said that, they left Bama on Friday evening with his family members, hoping to find refuge in Maiduguri until government is able to solve the security situation in the local government once and for all.
“I can not describe the situation in Bama right now, but I can tell you that, the Boko Haram men have returned and everything is going from bad to worse. We thank God that we were able to come down to Maiduguri, and we are praying that the rest of the innocent people should have the means of getting out of Bama and Gwoza as soon as possible because they are everywhere and threatening more attacks on our people.”
