Boko Haram Slaughters Former Speaker's Father and 40 Others In Borno Villages
Category: Boko Haram News
"At least 30 people have been killed in Abadam alone but I don’t know
the actual number of people killed in nearby localities. A traditional
ruler, Ba Mallam Wasak, 75, an uncle of the immediate past Speaker of
the Borno State House of Assembly, Goni Ali Modu was among those killed.
As I am talking to you, both my father and mother are still trapped in
Abadam and only God will save them. Many people, especially the old are
still in Abadam because they could not flee,” a resident of Abadam,
Aminu Abdullahi said.
According to a resident of Abadam in Borno State, "Dozens of gunmen suspected to be members of the Boko Haram
have taken over Abadam. They have been in Abadam since Thursday but finally hoist their flags on Friday after killing many
prominent people and forcing others to cross over to Niger”.

These attacks were carried out following the simultaneous actions by the dreaded
Jihadist group in their attacks in Borno State and their peace agreement
in Saudi Arabia on Friday.
The attack on Abadam village – located in the northern part of Borno
state – resulted in beheading of several villagers including the
septuagenarian father of a former Speaker of the Borno state House of
Assembly, Goni Ali Modu.
Abadam is a border community, located about 200km north of Maiduguri, the Borno state capital. It is one of the border community
that is literally cut off from the rest of the state by desert sand
dunes. It takes 4-wheel driven SUVs and Jeeps to get to Abadam anytime
of the year.
The recent series of attacks which occurred on Thursday and Friday
followed the seemingly hurried announcement of a ceasefire by Federal
government of Nigeria and by leaders of the Jihadist group. As gathered,
select communities were attacked resulting in the slaying of over 40
persons including the father of immediate speaker of Borno state house
of assembly, Goni Ali Modu. The following day, on Friday, the town of
Shaffa was attacked – resulting in the killing of 8 people – hundreds of
others fled their homes.
The Jihadist gunmen did not spare the civilian JTF who had gone to
the site of the gruesome attack to recover some of the corpses. They
were attacked – resulting in a bloody gunfight. One member of the
Jihadist group was killed.
A top security personnel in Maiduguri confirmed the incident but
declined giving details on the possible casualty recorded in the
Saturday repeat attack.
Similarly, residents of Bama local government area of Borno state
where the Boko Haram had seized for about two months now have reported
cases of serial killings of helpless residents by the Boko Haram
terrorists.
A 50 year old woman, Fatima Bulama, who managed to escape to
Maiduguri on foot last Monday said ‘things are getting worse in Bama;
they are killing people selectively everyday. Days before I managed
to escape, they gathered all the younger women and divided them into
three groups according to their age grade and then they took them away;
we never knew what would become of them, but I know it would be
something terrible”.
