| 2014-04-14 |
| [PMNEWSNIGERIA] The Emir of Gwoza in Borno state, Alhaji Idrissa Timta, on Sunday decried the renewed insurgency in the area, saying it had crippled the socio-economic activities in his domain. Gwoza is about 129 kilometres from Maiduguri, the capital. According to a statement issued in Maiduguri, the Emir said his people have witnessed increased attacks with mass killings by the bully boyz in the last four months. "The attacks have crippled both social and economic lives in the entire area,'' the statement quoted the emir as saying. Timta said: "it is sad to say that my people have been blocked from going to the market by the Death Eaters, who kill at will. "Even the food crops cultivated by them in the last farming season have ended up with the Boko Haram ... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality... as the harvest were seized by the bully boyz making life unbearable. "There is an urgent need for the security agents to intensify and change their tactics of operation to stop the mass killings in this area.'' He said the bully boyz had also killed many number people by blocking major highways, and appealed to security agents to intensify patrol on these roads to prevent the attacks. "If care is not taken my people will completely flee the area to neighbouring states and countries for safety,'' he said. |
