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...
