Update On Military Troops Activity Against The Boko haram Sect In North Eastern Nigeria: Residents of Bornu Flee!


After the Nigerian Military troops had killed some people suspected to be members of the book haram sect, most of Nigerian dailies have reported that more than 2,000 Nigerians living in border villages in Borno State have fled because of the ongoing military operations aimed at defeating insurgents from the area since the declaration of the emergency rule.

Many of the villagers have been reported to flee to neighbouring Niger Republic. The fleeing residents did not only head to Niger, they also fleed to neighbouring states such as Kano and bauchi states.

Some reports has it that the Joint Military Task Force extricated the boko haram sect from the Sambisa Game Reserve and other camps on in Borno State.(one of the North Eastern States of Nigeria).

Come to think of it, this people have been left with no choice than to flee: A popular Nigerian saying goes thus: When two elephants fight, the ants and the grass surely suffer. They sure don’t want to be caught in the line of fire! So the only option for them as they presume is to flee!

More updates coming...
