Boko Haram Victims Cry Out Over ‘Intense Suffering’

At a press conference in Abuja, chairman, Mubi South, Rev. Paul Alhamdu, decried the deplorable and unsafe condition still prevalent in most of their communities despite the fact that government says rehabilitation work is ongoing in the various communities.

According to him the activities of the sect is still prevalent in their communities as they record cases of attacks on weekly basis.

“We are continually called upon to return to our communities as safety is now guaranteed and normalcy has returned yet we are still very unsafe as we cannot go to our farms, some of those who have tried have been killed in cold blood.

“Many of our people who have returned have been abducted and we have no idea of their whereabouts and some of those who have returned and are still alive are surviving under very hard conditions,” he said.

Alhamdu also lamented on the sharing formula of relief materials which according to him was done with a lot of discrimination.

“The sharing of relief materials are usually done in discrimination against us (Christians). For example, NEMA brought some materials and our people did not get a share from the materials as they were taken to the emir’s palace and shared without the knowledge of others, we feel neglected by our leaders at every level,” he lamented.

Alhamdu who acknowledge government’s efforts in the fight against Boko Haram urged government to immediately intervene to help alleviate the sufferings of the victims as they desperately want to return home and pick up the pieces of their lives.
