Some residents of Borno state have expressed doubts that President
Buhari will end Boko haram activities in the North East by December this
year.
In an interview with Nigerian Tribune, a resident of the state, Ma’aji
Kolo, who is currently taking refuge in Maiduguri, said
“We love and supported Buhari, but we are getting confused because we
hope and believe he has all it takes to end the Boko Haram madness, but
today, we are more afraid that they might come back in full force to
take over more towns and villages.
A lot of them have come into town, they are occupying
Mobbar and Abadam local government areas. They are in Marte and Baga,
soldiers are yet to engage them and are regrouping. We have complained
through our leaders and nothing seems to be happening as to engaging
them. We are afraid. For me personally, I don’t think end is in sight
looking at the December deadline. The last time the military told us to
go back that they have liberated the local government, we went back and
that was when I lost two of my brothers, when the Boko Haram attacked
Munguno. I still feel bad for believing in the military and taking that
decision. Now, they are urging people to go back again, but our people
who are trapped in the local governments are telling us that all is not
well,” he said.
