Boko Haram To Chibok: Expect us again.
Barely two months after abducting over
200 schoolgirls from Chibok, Borno State,
the militant Islamic sect, Boko Haram, has
written to the people of the community to
watch out for their next visit.
A highly-placed official of the Chibok Local
Government Area, who made this known to
journalists on Thursday, said that in the
letter, the insurgents warned Chibok would
soon be visited with terror.
He however said that the letter had been
shown to police authorities who assured
them of maximum protection.
The official, who did not want his name in
print, said in spite of the assurances by the
police, the people were living in ''great
fear.''
He said, "Everyone in the LGA believes that
the sect cannot be pocketed by security
men. 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."
