This was shared by Fatima Mohammed Abbas, the Executive Director at Borno Young
Entrepreneurship Foundation
Magumeri, the
main town and Local Government Area after Maiduguri and before Gubio and
Damasak is currently under attack. Information on the attack so far reveals
that the town has been torched in its entirety by the marauding terrorists.
Some residents of the town have found their way to Maiduguri the state capital
after escaping from the attackers.
Few weeks ago,
Nganzai along Maiduguri-Baga road was also attacked leading to the death of own
troops and the carting away of food items provided by UN agencies and
international non-governmental organisations (NGOs) operating in the area. The
terrorists were reported by eyewitnesses to have cautioned civilians to be calm
and go about their activities in the area.
The proximity
of these attacks along Maiduguri/Damboa road, Maiduguri/Gamboru/Ngala road,
Maiduguri/Gubio road, Maiduguri/Baga road and sundry places puts the centrally
located city under a siege of sorts.
Nigerians
resident in the northeast will never cease to wonder what it takes to truly end
terrorism in the embattled region.
