Boko Haram Gives Indigenes Of Chibok Eviction Notice

Chibok indigenes have alerted the federal government to
a quit notice served on the community by the terrorist
group Boko Haram.

At a press conference in Abuja, Friday, The Chairman of the Chibok
nation, Dr. Pogu Bitrus said that residents of Kautikari
and Kaya town had received what the Boko Haram sect
termed final notice to attack the towns again and
ordered the residents to vacate the village or face total
annihilation on their next visit.

"As a matter of urgency, we wish to alert the general
public and the international community that after the
attack on four villages of Kautikari, Nguradina, Kwada/
Kaumutayahi and Kakulmari on Sunday 29th June,
2014, which recorded 105 deaths, the residents of
Kautikari and Kaya town have received what the Boko
Haram sect termed final notice to attack Kautikari again
by advising residents to vacate the village or face total
annihilation on their next attack which has been
promptly reported to the security agencies".
Bitrus disclosed further that Kaya town in Damboa Local
Governemaent Area attacked on July 3, 2014 received a
stern warning from the Boko Haram insurgents after the
attack to vacate their town; given that they constitute an
obstacle on their way to invading Chibok (Kibaku)
Nation.

The Chibok Nation also expressed dismay over "the
inability of the federal government to provide adequate
security for the people."
Bitrus said the capacity of the military in the villages "is
just like a platoon, which is not more than forty."

"Today is 81 days since the abduction of our girls and in
spite of the categorical statements by the Chief of
Defence Staff (CDS), that the location of the girls is
known to the government, the appalling situation and
agony encompassing the unfortunate abduction saga
and detention of the Chibok girls by the Boko Haram
insurgents continues and the rescue efforts by the
government is yet to yield result.

"While this unfortunate situation persists, many
distressed parents are dying of heart attack and
frustration as their dejection has become unbearable. On
record, seven parents have lost their lives due to the
trauma of the situation.

"Unfortunately, again, the Federal government has not
provided adequate security in the Chibok area since the
unfortunate abductions of April 14 even in the face of
persistent attacks by the Boko Haram insurgents."
According to Bitrus, Boko Haram had so far carried out
15 attacks on the Chibok Nation involving 19 villages
with over 229 killed and over 100 injured.

"Some of the victims of these attacks are parents and
relations of the abducted girls, thereby adding more
pains to the traumatic condition already inherent in the
Chibok (Kibaku) Community."

Bitrus disclosed further that the inhabitants of Tsilari and
Shawa villages had already been completely dislodged
and the villages taken over by the Boko Haram
insurgents and their flag hoisted.

"Worthy of note is the fact that 90% of the attacks were
carried out with advanced notice to the residents by the
Boko Haram insurgents which were subsequently
reported to the relevant security agencies concerned but
no action was taken to avert any of the attacks or even
respond during the attacks."

The Chibok indigenes however demanded among others,
that the government should negotiate with the Boko
Haram sect with a view of securing the release of their
girls and also to establish a rehabilitation center in
Chibok to address psychological, medical and traumatic
effects of the abduction on parents, escaped and yet to
be rescued girls and the Chibok community.
The group also wants government to station an army
battalion in Chibok town.
