According to Tribune, some internally displaced victims of the Boko Haram terrorists attacks in five local government areas of Adamawa State have threatened the Federal Government. The displaced victims of the local government under the siege of the sect on Tuesday threatened to relocate to Cameroon Republic, if the Federal Government continue to pay lip service to the destructive activities of the blood thirsty group.
The residents who lamented that the insurgents have taken their towns expressed anger over the continuous slaughtering and attacks carried out by the sect, and expressed disappointment over Federal Government’s failure to deploy security to defeat the insurgents.
One of the aggrieved residents who gave his name as Garba Buba said:
“We have lost confidence in Nigeria, because it has failed in its onerous responsibility to protect us. With the situation, we have no alternative other than to change our nationality. We have been patient for a long time, even as we continue to suffer serious losses in terms of human lives and properties in the past without security operatives doing enough to protect us,” Buba said.
Another man, Bitrus Kamale, also said:
“The government should tell us whether we are Nigerians or not. We are tired of being killed on a daily basis like fowls by insurgents and the continued harassment from soldiers,” Kamale said.
Also, Musa Welye, a resident of Michika town said the affected people are gravely lamenting being in Nigeria. He, however, expressed optimism that it would have been better for them if they had chosen not to be in Nigeria during the 1961 plebiscite. However, it was reported that over 60 people were killed at the weekend during a battle between security forces and the Boko Haram group in Mubi, Adamawa state.
