The deadly Boko Haram sect has left a letter at the scene
of the explosion that killed over 50 people at a market in
Sabon Gari, threatening Borno residents to join the group
or die.
Local vigilante said threat letters at the site of the blast
cautioned the locals to wake up and join force with the
terrorists to fight ‘Holy War’ against ‘infidels’ or face more
attacks.
Wakil Modu has said that, the warning letter supposedly
written in ‘Hausa’ by the insurgents advised the people that,
fighting the cause of Allah is a holy business, which all who
believe must wake up to join in the blessing of henceforth.
The vigilante added that they have reported several times for
action to be taken principally at Talala and Ajigil area of
Damboa local government area, where it was considered to
house Boko Haram members, but nothing was being done
about it.
He said: “Last week a Fulani man brought a report, which
said that he saw a Boko Haram member with sophisticated
weapons and a tanker. When he told us we went and
reported but nothing happened. The attack on the market,
we got a hint, but the market is an open place people can
sneak in. We are still calling on government to do
something because this is the third time the market is
being attacked although this is the worst attacked so far .”
President of Chad, Idriss Deby recently disclosed the Boko
Haram now had a new leader. He did not say what had
happened to Abubakar Shekau, but said he had been replaced
by Mahamat Daoud – who has not been heard of before.
There had also been reports that the faction of the sect
reached President Muhammadu Buhari and pleaded for
peace talks.
