Boko Haram: Many People Still Missing After Garkida Attack In Adamawa by EBMedia: 2:02pm On Feb 23, 2020 |
IgbereTV reports that a lot of residents in Garkida in Adamawa State are still missing after the Boko Haram Attack in their community on Friday. A reliable source in Garkida said that as the insurgents had dominated the town on Friday, people took to the mountains to escape death as the dreaded insurgents opened fire power on people killing unspecified number of people. Confirming the development the State Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria CAN Bishop Dr. Stephen Dami Mamza said the biggest Churches in Garkida town have been burnt down. He said, ” I’m aware that some of the biggest Churches in Garkida town, Lutheran Church of Christ in Nigeria (LCCN), EYN, Living Faith and others has been burnt down by Boko Haram” He said, ” I’m yet to account for the lives of my pastors who where affected during the rampage and burning down of the Churches “ A resident of Garkida Mrs Rachael Kilofas who is a trained nurse at the ancient Garkida Leprosy Hospital said the insurgents drove everyone outside the town when they came firing sporadically. She said, “We ran to all the mountains to escape death but from there we saw our biggest Churches and the General hospital burning and there was no resistant as the Boko Haram had a field day. Rachel Kilofas said women and children where especially caught unaware as others could not run to the mountains and children where helpless as many parents cannot account for their wards even now while hiding in the mountains. According to IgbereTV reports, the attack left several were houses burnt, which includes those of prominent sons of Garkida, Gen. Paul Tarfa (rtd) among others. Market places, EYN, Living Faith and Anglican churches were also burnt.

Are we just going to sit down and fold our hands until this madness reaches every corner of the country? Remember it could be me and you running for our lives. So these guys came into town and operated freely. What happened to our military's rapid response squad? Where's our outrage as Nigerians? This has got to stop! 2 Likes |

May they be found in Jesus name. Boko Haram has been defeated, it was IPOB that attacked Garkida. Please Nnamdi Kalu should tell his IPOB members to stop attacking and killing people in Borno. They are the one that kidnapped the people that are missing. I heard Kalu is not in London but Sambisa forest. Arrewa Tsephanyah ya ya ne? |
