The Boko Haram/Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) terrorists have issued a quit notice to residents of certain communities in Gujba Local Government Area of Yobe State.
Reports indicate that the terrorists demanded the residents vacate the area, accusing them of informing security agencies about their movements.
The Islamic sect invaded the communities last weekend, firing shots indiscriminately before delivering their warning.
“This is what’s happening in my locality. I’m from Yobe State, and I live in the Gujba Local Government Area. A few days back, Boko Haram came to our town and others, attacking everybody, beating, harassing, and so much more,” a source stated.
“Now they have given us a short notice to migrate within a timeframe of one week, or else they will kill everyone. We really need help, and the media is quiet about this. I believe this will reach government officials. Our lives are in danger. We don’t even have money to travel, let alone rent a home; many people are in abject poverty. We truly need your help.”
Another resident added, “Yes, he is right. That’s exactly what’s happening, and now we’re trying to find a way out. Unfortunately, the media isn’t even discussing this issue, and if I were to post about it myself, I could face threats.
I was learned that some residents of yobe community have begun fleeing their homes in large numbers as the deadline Boko haram/ Iswap appoacapproaches.
Since the death of JAS leader, Abubakar Shekau, ISWAP has been strengthening its hold in areas around Lake Chad.
The sect’s ranks have grown with the defection of hundreds of Boko Haram fighters loyal to Shekau.
The Nigerian Army has consistently claimed that the insurgency has been largely defeated and often downplays any losses.
The terror group has resulted in over 100,000 deaths and displaced millions of people, primarily in Adamawa, Borno, and Yobe states.
