Boko Haram takes over Borno villages, kills 9, hoists flag

According to a report by Premium Times, suspected Boko Haram men yesterday May 26th attacked villages in the rocky mountains of Gwoza town of Borno State, killing 9 villagers and setting various houses and churches in the area ablaze. Reports say the men hoisted their flag at Ashigashiya ward of Gwoza LGA, a place they now claim is their headquarters.
 
Speaking to newsmen, a local government official, Nglamuda Ibrahim confirmed the incident and said that some of the villagers with bullet wounds are currently taking refuge at the top of the mountains. He said no help, either from the police or military has come to those that were injured since the attack and that the sect men are believed to be preparing for a second attack. Continue...

"As we speak now, I am still receiving distress calls from them, they were all crying and calling for help; no soldier or police official had gone there yet. The Boko Haram gunmen mounted their flags in Ashigashiya which is now like their headquarters. In last night’s attack, six churches were burnt, eight persons were killed and several others seriously injured. We cannot count the number of houses that were burnt in Chinene village of Chikide-Joghode-Kaghum ward. They also attacked Amuda village where one person was killed and several others injured. As I am talking to you now, the insurgents have mobilised at Izhaghathagwa mountain, planning on how to finish (kill) our people; that is why they have been calling for help before the gunmen climb up to them. We are calling on the military authorities in the state to quickly go up there and help us rescue those poor villagers, their wives and children before the imminent danger of the gunmen attack caught them up in the mountains,” he said. “We have a detachment of soldiers that were deployed to Gwoza but none of them cares to go behind the mountains, even though everyone hears the sound of the shootings there” he said
Ibrahim gave the names of some of those killed in Chinene village as Bulama Dajiba, Bulama John, Haruna Wadda, Bitrus Kurma, Haruna Kwatha, Haruna Waruda, and Shaibu Galva.
 
Meanwhile a military personnel who spoke anonymously to Premium Times said the flag hoisting took place in Ashigashiya village three weeks ago. He said the Military has been informed about yesterday's attack.

Whatever it is that the marines & the millitary are doing,they should do it f**king fast.So this demons now have a republic of their own with their own stupid flag? This Boko boys can be crushed if the army desires,but from all indication,the top millitary officers have been compromised & the moles have taken over the army.Is there really hope for the common man?

I still stand my ground, what is happening in that state has nothing to do with Boko haram. There is more to all this killing, and if Borno don't speak out really fast, all of their people would be wiped out. I pray the insurgence comes to an end

OMG!! Why are there no soldiers stationed in all villages in Borno to protect this Nigerians - especially those living in christian dominated communities? What does the Military do with the 200million Naira given to it by Borno Govt? This is funny

Beloved said...

It's about time we all intensified our prayers for peace to reign in Nigeria. We are all folding our hands complaining about GEJ, and his government...good but believe me, if government can do something, they would have done it by now.

We need to raise our voices to God in prayer as a nation. The churches should forget about their denomination struggles and commence on a serious fast and prayer...why?

Boko HARAM has infiltrated into the system, they are in the government, on the street, probably in the military....to me, these guys are initiated into this occult which makes them demon possessed all we need is prayer...revival.

Nigeria, lift up your voice to Jesus for protection and deliverance...don't wait for it to come to your doorstep, it could be too late.

Finally, better give your life to Christ if you haven't...with these tragedy in the news all the time, you don't wanna be caught unaware, Heaven and Hell are real.

Truth will set you free.

If you are told. Would believe that the US has a hand in this Boko Boys things, who gives them sophisticated weapons, who uploads the Vidoes we see each time without a trace, do you really know the forces behind this? there's a conspiracy theory somewhere. If they end up Killing everyone as they so assume, who will worship their god with them.

Classic case of what happens when your fellow countrymen turn their faces away in pretense when you are in distress. This is what happens when anarchy and chaos are perceived as key drivers of influence in any society. this is why is was wrong from the get go for thuggery to become the order of the day, even though in the name of politicking. It should never have taken root. we should never have looked on in silence. We should never have condoned their murderous behavior because they killed people we did not quite like. It is never good to watch your neighbor suffer from foolishness. over and over again the world has seen foolishness become the order of the day and everyone's birthright. God will save us.

Where do you want them to pack & go? You shouldn't make careless comments. We should all be screaming at the govt to either protect them or relocate them, not telling the poor helpless people to "just pack abeg"

Hi there guys! Hoists are found in abundance across many different types of working areas, they are commonly used on construction sites, in warehouses, workshops, car maintenance garages, dockyards and large ships but there are numerous other places that they are utilised that you would not expect, for example, lifting large tree stumps out, or lowering a chandelier for maintenance and cleaning.
