Boko Haram Kidnaps 50 Loggers In Borno by Omooba77: 10:50pm On Nov 22, 2018 |
Boko Haram jihadists abducted around 50 loggers near the northeastern Nigerian town of Gamboru close to the border with Cameroon, civilian militia and residents told AFP Thursday. The hostages who are mostly from a camp for people displaced by jihadist violence were on Saturday rounded up by fighters loyal to factional leader Abubakar Shekau while collecting wood at Bulakesa village, 25 kilometres (15 miles) from Gamboru in Borno state. “The men were rounded up and taken away by Boko Haram insurgents and nothing has been heard from them,” militia leader Umar Kachalla said. “Two of the loggers escaped and returned home and broke the news. “We don’t have a precise number of those taken but usually the loggers move in a group of more than 50 men,” Kachalla said. The loggers were encouraged to venture deep into the bush to collect firewood by a recent military operation that pushed the jihadists out of the area, another militia Shehu Mada said. Last month troops dislodged the militants from the nearby town of Wulgo and surrounding areas following incessant attacks on loggers. “The general assumption was that the insurgents had left the area only to suddenly appear and encircle the loggers,” Mada said. Some of the loggers joined the team to collect metals from the shells of vehicles destroyed in the military offensive against the fighters, he said. “We believe the number of the those abducted exceeds 50,” said Gamboru resident Babagana Musa. The story was slow to emerge due to limited communications with Gamboru residents. The area has for several years been without telecom facilities following the destruction of telecom masts in Boko Haram attacks, forcing residents to rely on Cameroon mobile phone networks. Gamboru loggers have suffered repeated Boko Haram attacks and abductions especially around Wulgo forest which was a known Boko Haram hideout. In April Boko Haram militants gunned down 18 loggers at the edge of Wulgo forest, 15 kilometres from Gamboru, while returning from collecting wood. In January at least 31 loggers went missing and were believed to have been abducted by the jihadists near Wulgo, where 10 loggers were killed two weeks earlier. https://punchng.com/boko-haram-kidnaps-50-loggers-in-borno/ |

50 able bodies men just like that? No resistance? Since they were gonna be killed anyway, why not die fighting rather than being slaughtered like an Xmas chicken? Take a chance at neutralizing one of them and take advantage of his gun or something. Well, some people are made to be loyal even unto death. ![]() 4 Likes |

This is how they do exchange with Buhari. Next thing we will hear is that Buhari's government paid them with hard currency for their release thereby indirectly sponsoring them and directly strengthening them financially. Do you wonder why no sponsor has ever been arrested? Wonder no more, their sponsors are within the system. He has always spoken in their favor in the past and rarely makes serious move against them now. 23 Likes 1 Share |
