Following a series of ghastly attacks in the state,
hundreds of people got displaced; some of the
fleeing residents reached St. Theresa’s Cathedral,
Yola, to receive foodstuffs and medical care.
Several refugees with The Vanguard, telling their
terrible stories of torture in the hands of the sect
members.
Cecilia Sumaila from Madagali narrated how Boko
Haram came after her threatening her with killing
unless she got converted to Islam.
“When the Boko Haram insurgents came to my
house, they met me and said they have been looking
for me and I asked them why? They said they want
me to convert to Islam and I told them I could
never do that. They said ok, if they cannot convert
me to Islam, then they would kill me.
“They tied my hands and legs behind and said they
will take me to Sambisa forest and slaughter me and
my children will never see me again. So everyone at
home was kneeling and crying, including my
mother
in-law who held my feet and said they will not take
me anywhere. They were crying and begging that I
should not be taken away but they insisted, saying I
am very stubborn because I refused to convert to
Islam.”
