ISLAMIC
terrorist group Boko Haram has issued a chilling and audacious warning to the
people of Chibok that it will revisit their town again soon to carry out more
abductions and unleash violence on them.
On April 14, Boko Haram visited Chibok and kidnapped 234 pupils from
Government Girls Secondary School in the town and has held them ever since.
Earlier this month, it then followed up the abduction with another audacious
raid in the nearby village of Garkin Fulani, where it kidnapped 20 women,
ordering them into their vehicles at gunpoint and driving them off to an unknown
location.
Emboldened by the audacity with which it has been able to operate, Boko Haram
has now written to Chibok, warning the town's leader that it will be returning
soon. One Chibok Local Government Area official, said that in the letter, the
insurgents warned the town that it would soon be visited with terror.
He added that the letter had been shown to police authorities who assured
them of maximum protection. According to the official, in spite of the
assurances by the police, the people of Chibok were living in great fear of Boko
Haram.
"Everyone in the local government area believes that the sect cannot
be pocketed by security men and the letter has further worsened their fear.
Whenever Boko Haram tells you that they are coming, they will never fail to do
so.
"Our fear now is that, we don’t know when and how they are going to come but
our people are in great fear. We are calling for prayers as well as on
government to provide adequate security in Chibok.”
Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau has repeatedly said that the Koranic laws
on jihad allows him to abduct women and sell them to his fighters as brides.
Women from Chibok and its surrounding areas have been regularly been abducted by
Boko Haram and used as sex slaves to satisfy the lust of its fighters and
leaders.
