stay there dey wait for major news outlets,mtcheew. Something wey be say I witness am live. As I type now,i dey the town,Nko where this happened,na just say i no wan make noise for nairaland for cheap likes.

So sorry to hear about that. I hope you’re safe ? And what is the state government doing about it ??

Damn!!
That's my neighbouring community, many of the refugees are here in my town.

Oh Cross river central

Why would your people kill a soldier ??

Mtcheeeeeeeeeeeeewww

Quest7777:

Never heard of any village in the North that Army burnt down despite the many killings of soldiers by Boko Haram/ISWAP.

Me too I never hear o

For all the soldiers killed by boko haram, bandits and herdsmen, how many towns have they burnt.

Don't start what you cannot Finnish. Zakibyan Case in Benue State is not forgotten so soon. If you're ready for war and has declared war against the Government, like Boko Haram terrorists, it a different things. But killing a Soldier don't go without a consequences.

desiredhome:

So why should they kill a military personnel?
....if your person is a military personnel will you be happy that he was just killed?

like u didn't digest my msg, am nt advocating for d killings of military personnel, chief am only advising fellow nairalander!

Thanks for ur concern. The whole thing is a long story. The main cause of the crisis is a large area of land btw Nko community in yarkurr LGA and Oyadama village in Obubra LGA. This land has been in dispute between Nko and Adun( a kingdom consisting of about 19 villages,of whom oyadama is among) for many decades. Many lives have been lost in several wars here and yet,the state govt have mum about it all along. What baffles me is the inability of the govt to spell out these boundaries which happen to be inter_Local govt. So,it all went bad when the communities started fighting last wk;an Nko youth was said to av shot a soldier during a faceoff(he didnt die there and info reaching us has it that he is still alive). To cut the long story short,the military invaded nko on sunday around 1am and were shooting at anyone on sight.They were there till yesterday.

They burnt down houses (some with elderly men in them) and shops,looted away money and drinks. They killed people(2 were on my strt,dunno abt others) and destroyed a lot of things. We`ve been hiding in bushes for days now. Calm seem to have returned and people are gradually coming back. Wish I can take pics and upload but omo,I cant step out,I no wan hear stray bullet abeg. It shall never be well with those nigerian army officersand those who gave those orders plus all those talking trash here in nairaland!

This is really pathetic. The Nigerian army are known to do this kind of thing many times. Same scenario played out in Odi and Zaki biam. I pray things goes back to normal at your end. Useless people only known to flex muscles at armless citizens.

amen bruh! May God help us in this country

Chidywhite:
Shame to the military, Useless cowards, burning civilian houses, behaving like untrained soldiers. Can soldiers in developed countries act in such a barbaric manner, only in zoo country. If really they are what they claim,I challenge them to confront ISWAP and Boko Haram .

Oga there's no day they don't confront Boko Haram or Iswap and that is why both terrorist group are being dispatched to hell and they have been shifted from Borno town and sub villages and now reside at the tunbums towards the Lake Chad region but you, what have you tried confronting all ur life and is winning atm.

Miracle2020:
your foolish ashawo mother didn't train to respect soldiers because she was busy fcking around like a dog. If you are one the people that killed that soldier, you deserved to be shot at close range with a GPMG. Fooooool.

I wanted to report this comment until I saw we're on the same side. lotta this ungrateful idiots don't know what it means to be a soldier. you'll just take and kill anyhow after half a year at depo. haba
