Boko Haram has again, struck in Borno State killing no fewer than 48 people in two separate attacks.
One of the latest victims of the insurgents’ attacks was Alagarno village in Askira-Uba Local Government Area, about 50 kilometres to the hometown of the abducted schoolgirls, South of Borno.
“They killed many people including men, women and children,” a source said.
Also, at Shawa village in Damboa Local Government Area, the insurgents reportedly killed a number of people in another dusk attack.
The Emir of Askira, Alhaji Abubakar Mohammadu Askirama II, in an interview with BBC Hausa Service, monitored in Maiduguri, confirmed the incident and appealed to the Federal Government to deploy more troops to the area.
He lamented that the area had been witnessing incessant attacks in recent times. Details of the Shawa attack remained scanty as at press time.
This is beyond a disaster and has attained a calamitous stage. Should we not ask the international community to intervene in our desperation? At this stage,we should be singing “TO THY TENTS O ISRAEL” The centre can no longer hold. Things fall apart. Whoever wishes to continue to rule over the already dismembered continent of Nigeria should wait until his blood is let abd he himself sacrificed. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
