No Comments

Boko Haram insurgents reportedly attacked the town of Dikwa, Borno State, killing two soldiers and abducting two policewomen.

According to reports, the insurgents killed the two soldiers in a gun battle that ensued as men of the Nigerian Army repelled their attack on the local government headquarters.

Residents and sources in the town disclosed that the insurgents stormed the town around 5:30pm and operated for over four hours before leaving around 9:00pm.

A Civilain JTF operative said: “They killed two soldiers and abducted two women police. Six IDPs were also injured in the attack. The Insurgents took away one police van and also burst the tire of the civilian JTF van.”

Another source, a displaced person living in the IDP camp in Dikwa disclosed that while the attack was going on, the camp residents, who were all afraid, were holed up in their tents.

He said: “We were in our tents in the camp and were hearing shootings from a distance and we knew those gunshots could not be from the army so we did not go out to know how deadly the attack was.”

Speaking also on the attack, a humanitarian worker in Dikwa disclosed that the attackers who came on foot were pursued by troops.

He said: “When they came into the town on foot, they started shooting sporadically. We all took to our heels. From the way they attacked, it was obvious they were on the run because the army has been clearing them in Sambisa Forest and you know Dikwa is in close proximity to the forest.

“I cannot tell the number of casualties because I ran for safety and I have not heard anything about the casualty figures but they didn’t target any particular place for destruction.”

There had been no comment from authorities as at the time of this report.

My Friend & His Dad Were Killed By The Father’s Brothers Because Of Village Land – Lady Narrates.

No Comments

The notion about the village being a place where evil occurs is still very much alive in the thoughts of humans. It is ideally supposed to be a place where people gather and reminisce on old times or catch up with distant families, visit sites and watch cultural displays, listen to stories of past legends and others but many a times, it’s been known to have its fair share of atrocities one of which is family feud or disputes over lands between family members.

A lady known as Sally gave her fair share of why she started getting scared of village people. She is a verified Twitter account holder and she wrote; “When I started getting scared of village people was years ago when I attended my friend father’s burial. His brothers killed him because of his own land ?, my friend Obi decided to fight his father’s brothers, they killed Obi in less than a month. I attended his burial too ??

Her story is quite deep and that’s one of the many untold cases happening in various villages. She didn’t stop there as the tweet gathered reactions from various people.

She went further to add; “The thing is some of you men are very stubborn and won’t listen. When they advise you not to go to the village because of the plans village people have for you, you don’t listen. It’s always what can they do? I’m a strong man. It’s very annoying.”

In as much as tensions are usually high in villages with a lot of family members being around, it’s still regarded as one’s home and there is a popular saying elders do use on people who go to their villages when they say ‘You might be with your family but your family might not be with you.’

What do you think of this lady’s unfortunate encounter with her friend’s village people?
