Boko Haram Victims Threaten To Relocate To Cameroon

Displaced victims of the Boko Haram terrorists attacks in five local government areas of Adamawa State have threatened the Federal Government.

Tribune reports that the displaced victims of the local government under the siege of the sect on Tuesday threatened to relocate to Cameroon Republic, if the Federal Government continue to pay lip service to the destructive activities of the blood thirsty group.

The residents who lamented that the insurgents have taken their towns expressed anger over the continuous slaughtering and attacks carried out by the sect, and expressed disappointment over Federal Government’s failure to deploy security to defeat the insurgents.

One of the aggrieved residents who gave his name as Garba Buba hinted that with the increasing attacks, affected residents were left with no other option rather than to relocate to Cameroon Republic for safety.



Buba, who further revealed that their communities were left unprotected, said the people have lost confidence in Nigeria following the persistent seizure of towns and villages as well as the deliberate massacre meted on the people.

“We have lost confidence in Nigeria, because it has failed in its onerous responsibility to protect us. With the situation, we have no alternative other than to change our nationality. We have been patient for a long time, even as we continue to suffer serious losses in terms of human lives and properties in the past without security operatives doing enough to protect us,” Buba said.

Speaking also, Bitrus Kamale, another displaced person from Michika town, said the state of the nation forced him to personally change nationality, especially as there was inadequate security which has made so many people in the area homeless while some have been left stranded in Cameroon border villages.

“The government should tell us whether we are Nigerians or not. We are tired of being killed on a daily basis like fowls by insurgents and the continued harassment from soldiers,” Kamale said.
Also, Musa Welye, a resident of Michika town said the affected people are gravely lamenting being in Nigeria. He, however, expressed optimism that it would have been better for them if they had chosen not to be in Nigeria during the 1961 plebiscite.


Meanwhile, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugee, UNHCR, has revealed that no fewer than 13,000 Nigerian refugees fled the country into neighbouring Cameroon following the ongoing Boko Haram insurgency.

However, it was reported that over 60 people were killed at the weekend during a battle between security forces and the Boko Haram group in Mubi, Adamawa state.
