Boko Haram abducts politician's wife and two children in Borno state

Suspected members of Boko Haram have kidnapped the wife and two children of Alhaji Zaraye Mala Sheriff, a Councillor in Borno state who is reported to be a cousin of former Borno state, governor, Ali Modu Sheriff.
A source told Daily Trust that the men stormed the Ngala town residence of the politician in the early hours of Friday July 18th.
"The insurgents stormed the house of the councillor around 12:30am on Friday and asked the wife about her husband. They also asked her for the money he kept at home but she kept quiet. Luckily enough, Zaraye was at the other side of the house and when he heard the conversation, he fled,” a source from Ngala said.
He said angered by her silence and the absence of their target, the sect members took her and her two children away. Continue...
"Up till now, nothing has been heard of the woman and her kids. We have not heard anything about the two businessmen either,” he said.
Two other politicians, Alhaji Annur Mohammed and Liman Alhaji Hussaini were also reportedly kidnapped by the sect men.

Meanwhile there are reports that Maiduguri metropolis and its environs have been without power in the last three weeks following the destruction of electricity installations around Damboa town, 85 kilometers away from the state capital.

A senior official of the utility firm supplying the state with power, the Yola Electricity Distribution Company (YEDC) said the attack by Boko Haram members in the last three weeks around Damboa caused “huge damage” to their 33KVA installations.

“The problem is aggravated by the security situation around Damboa which makes it difficult for our men to effect repairs. The truth is that it will take time before electricity would be restored in Maiduguri and environs,” he said.

If it's true, that's good; atleast, they'll get to feel what poor citizens feel constantly and hopefully, join hands with GEJ to fight the battle...

I wonder that there's anyone left in Borno to terrorise.

So the man ran when he heard his wife being interrogated by BH? God forbid! And allowed his family to be abducted? Shame.

"he fled,” a source said.

What I get from this is that the politician, heard his family was in danger and "he fled"? Not "he went to get help" or "he called the police" or "he petitioned neighbours to help him resuce his family" but "he fled".

NOT TRYING TO SOUND NEGATIVE BUT ITS TIME THEY START FEELING WHAT THE ORDINARY MAN IN BORNO FEELS. SOON IT WILL GET TO THE PRESIDENT AND THEN HE WILL GET TO KNOW THE NEED TO ACT FAST.

It is obvious they are thief jare, dey asked for money, and when they dint get that, dey resulted to abduction #Leverage, since ali modu sheriff is a politician that just defected to pdp, politics is not to be ruled out

I wish someone come up with a plan to destroy this things called boko.They seems to have out grown their creators.

As each day pass,some people seems to embrace this evil as part of us,others join them just to be alive for been in that part of my state and they keep growing stronger from our fear & weakness.

The part that scares me a lot is that the awareness people were creating then also died just the way all good dies in Nigeria .WHO WILL SET NIGERIA FREE ? YOU & I,START THE AWARENESS,DON'T EVER BE QUITE,Use the issue of the beast as our method of greeting.Do something with your voice & help break this evil chain of innocent blood turning into a river by the seconds.

GOD BLESS NIGERIA !

to be fair, the only way to effect change in nigeria is really to hit the politicians and their families. right now they are feeling it's not our problem, that is usually the attitude of our government. when it starts to affect them personally, maybe they will do something. i know it is bad but in a way, i'm glad that these higher uppers are also feeling what the masses are feeling, maybe change will be effected and maybe change will happen.

TB joshua has said it before that if the FG do not bring back our girls the insurgent (a.k.a bokoharam will turn against the politicians.

Laughing in Greek! The gods are not to blame! But, really may be now the so-called leaders will begin to sit up. I careless because a lot of the masses have gone to the world beyond and the monsters we call leaders did nothing but condolence visits without even using part of the looted funds to care for those in d hospital. Nwachiocha!
