Boko Haram Crisis:7 Emirs Flee Palaces In Borno, Yobe by lekanolas: 10:56pm On Sep 03, 2014
Boko Haram attacks have forced five of the eight first-class traditional rulers in Borno State to flee their palaces, investigation has shown.

Two other monarchs in Yobe State have also been displaced, following the takeover of their domains by the insurgency.
The Borno emirs affected include Shehu of Dikwa Muhammad Ibn Shehu Masta and Emir of Gwoza Muhammadu Ibn Mustapha Idrissa Timta, whose emirates have been overrun by Boko Haram, and Emir of Bama Kyari Ibn Ibrahim El-Kanemi, who fled when his town was attacked on Monday.

Other displaced senior monarchs in Borno are Emir of Askira Abubakar Ibn Muhammad Askirama and his counterpart Ali Ibn Isma’ila Mamza of Uba, who left their palaces following security reports that their towns might be targeted.

Many surrounding villages have been attacked by insurgents in the recent past.

Both Askira and Uba are not far from Gwoza, which Boko Haram took over on August 6 and later declared part of an “Islamic caliphate ” by the sect leader Abubakar Shekau.

Dikwa has also been under the insurgents’ rule since they overrun the town on August 28, forcing thousands of people to flee to the state capital Maiduguri.

Three days earlier, Boko Haram fighters took over Gamboru, a town on the Nigerian border with Cameroon, and which is also in Dikwa Emirate, after fierce fighting with troops.

The only first-class traditional rulers still living in their respective domains in Borno are Shehu of Borno Abubakar Garbai El-Kanemi, Emir of Shani Nasiru Muhammadu Mailafiya and the Emir of Biu.

When these boko haram started off initially by attacking churches,christians and major motor parks of travellers heading to the east and other southern parts of Nigeria,these emirs and royal fathers turned a blind eye. They pretended like boko haram didn't exist. The imams refrained from preaching against it. Today,boko haram has lost focus and now kills indiscriminately, they have started crying for help! It has now become a national issue.

when you equip a mad man with arms and send him to war, every body becomes his enemy. If he succeed in killing every body, he will come after you.

Every mad security gaurd will always want to impress his master (ie: the spirit that posesses him) not even his employer. If he did not see a thief to kill, he will murder his employer and celebrate his death.
