Ali Ndume, Senator representing Borno South, has disclosed
that Boko Haram slaughtered 75 elderly people in his hometown of Gwoza area of
the state.
Ndume claimed that Boko Haram dragged the elders to the
town’s abattoir and slaughtered them like animals.
The lawmaker disclosed this during a stakeholders’ Senate
Committee on Special Duties and the North East Development Commission (NEDC) in
Maiduguri, on Wednesday.
He lamented that the activities of the insurgents had made
him unable to travel home.
Ndume disclosed that in one day, the insurgent also killed
several young residents.
He, however, noted that the level of insecurity in Gwoza had
overwhelmed security operatives.
He said: “Even as a serving senator, I still cannot go to
Gwoza my home town because it is not safe.
“Our security operatives are trying their bests, and we have
to give it to them. But the situation is overwhelming.
“There was a time in
my home town Gwoza, that about 75 elders most of whom I know personally were
dragged by Boko Haram to the town’s abattoir and slaughtered like animals. Only
two persons survived because their bodies were covered with other people’s
blood and the assailants thought they were dead.
“In the same Gwoza, Boko Haram had in a single day lined up
young men and summarily shot them dead. These were just some stand out cases.”
