And to think Amnesty was ever contemplated for this"Evil Doers".... Simply leaves one totally astounded!!! READ ON! From the horses mouth!!!!!.............What Many Do Not Know By Ahmadu Jirgi

Nothing has changed for the better since June last year when the first
emergency rule in some parts of Borno was lifted. The people had
witnessed a kind of restriction they have never seen before as curfew was
imposed in most parts of the states from 6pm to 6am. We also witnessed
a lot of Joint Task Force (JTF) activities as they exercised their powers to
arrest and detain, not leaving outtheir other abuses rivalled by the Boko haram sect. ?But instead, Boko haram has grown in strength and number
while Nigerians watched as the sect gradually spread its influence to
effectively capture 23 out the 24 local government areas of Borno, a fact
clearly attested to by Senator Ahmed Zanna Khalifa representing Borno
central.
Boko haram lived, moved among the people and killed with impunity anyone who dared to stand in their way. ?First, it began with the killing
of their own brothers, friends, family, Islamic clerics and most shockingly
any of their parents who got boldenough to condemn their actions or
report them to the security agencies. In time, they extended their
hostilities to non-Muslims, indigenous or not and then the Igbos.
Contrary to what many people have been made to believe, the ideology that Boko Haram holds does not differentiate between Muslims or
Christians, you are a potential target as long as you are not a sect
member. Any educated fellow orgovernment worker unfortunate
enough to reside among them or close enough to be reached by these
boys also became marked to be axed.
We have witnessed Boko Haram metamorphosed into something else. The foot soldiers are mostly young men from the age of 15 to 25 usually
armed with Ak47, their weapon of choice. Then they graduated toa more
gruesome mode of killing people ?slaughtering with a kitchen knife from
their victim?s home, a treatmentthey mete out to any of their members
they perceive as a hypocrite, mole or deflector.
Indeed, it is the most gruesome form of killing anyone can think of where the victim is tied downlike an animal, and slaughtered until the head is
cut off completely. I have seen the body of my neighbour with the head
severed from the body. I have also seen the body of another manwith
the head cut off and placed on its back at Krenoa, a small farming town in
Marte local government area of Borno state. The villagers said he was
brought to the market by Boko Haram members in 5 Toyota Hilux car, and they were told why he was deserving of such anend ? he extorted from
the people under the guise of the sect. I learnt a teenager was instructed
to do the slaughtering, a task he did smiling.
Believe me, not a single day passes without an incident of killings in
Maiduguri or its environs. Gun shots are so normal that you know
normalcy will return within 15 minutes, so far the victims are not members of the government security forces.
One does not have to pay a visit to the troubled areas of the state to
know that people are dying, a visit to the graveyard tells the story.
Muslims bury their dead wrapped in white cotton material and without a
coffin. A bullet-ridden corpse can be spotted immediately as the white can
be mistaken for red, obviously soaked in blood that flows enoughto even drip from the stretcher.
I recall some months ago, an acquaintance of mine had a younger brother
who joined the police and was posted to one of those southern states. His
police brother came home on a visit to his family but unknown to us all,
Boko Haram members were lurking.? They mistook my friend for his
brother who was home to visit and shot him dead. I went for theburial but could not get into Gwange and like most who have come to pay their
last respect to the dead, waited atthe Gwange central cemetery forthe
corpse. Suffice to say that eleven (11) other corpses were brought tobe
buried in the space of time we waited for the remains of our friend to be
brought ? all covered in blood; thecemetery attendants said sometimes
more than 20 corpses are brought in a single day. In 2011, motorcycles were banned in Maiduguri because it provided a fast
means of escape to the killers, especially in areas that are not motorable.
Despite the hardship in transportation as a result of the ban, a lot of
people welcome the idea even before tricycles were later introduced. In
places like Bulabulin Ggarnam in Maiduguri however, motorcyclesare still
in use as the area is well known to be under the iron grip of the Boko Haram sect. Those who havefled the area said the sect members can be
seen with their guns riding their motorcycle even when the JTF unit is but
a little distance away. The soldiers confess to lack of adequate resources
to launch the needed attack there.
With the insurgency came also car snatching and kidnapping. Kidnapping
is very common in Maiduguri although the ones involving notable figures like Dr Ali Monguno, a nationalist and a former minister get more
publicity.
In places like Bama, one can say there is no single Toyota Camry left. If at
all there is, it must be an old one that cannot possibly go beyond 120
kilometres per hour. In fact, Boko Haram boys need not break into
anyone?s house to claim a vehicle;they call the owner with instructions to fuel the car ahead of their arrival. Then they walk in, ask that he
disengages any anti-theft security and hand them the car and its key. The
owner is killed should the car stopon the way. ?A senior colleague, Late
Ahmed Wali ?suffered this fate. It is believed that all the cars snatched in
Maiduguri are either in northern Borno or in the Sambisa game reserve,
about 45 kilometres from Maiduguri. People die daily in my state, hence any solution towards ending this
carnage must not have a colouration of politics but should be pursued
with the intent to truly bring about peace to our land. I welcome the
declaration of State Of Emergencyin Borno and from the pulse of the
people among whom I work, it is safe to say that many are happy with
this declaration ??if?? it will bring an end to this crisis. The state of emergency is long overdue.
Not to mince words, I have my reservations with the conduct of the JTF; I
never pray that the Baga episode repeat itself in any form, and hence
nurse fears of the fallouts of this military intervention ?but would we
wait for the remaining 3 local government areas still functioning under
Borno state government to fall into hands of Boko Haram? Or allow the entire state to be run down before we act?
Borno is our home; our lives should not be used as bet for political
reasons. It is amiss for anyone to stay in Abuja or anywhere outside of
Borno state and speak authoritatively­ ­ as though they feel our pain, while
our brothers and sisters die in droves.? I will agree with anyonewho
speaks of caution or defined rules of engagement for the JTF but anutter condemnation of the declaration of emergency is not acceptable.
I personally have never been in support of the amnesty program for Boko
Haram. As a matter of fact, the good people of Borno know what these
marauding killers stand for and their great contempt and disregard for
constituted authority. An amnesty will then be a win for them; an
indication that they are above thesovereignty of Nigeria. This will spell doom for the locals.
All efforts made to talk to the sect when Bama was attacked proved
abortive; they see no reason to dialogue when they are winning the war.
When the heat is turned on them,one won?t be surprised to see them
being the ones seeking peace instead. That they be hunted down from
Lake Alau in the Sambisa to the Lake Chad in northern Borno are few of my prayers and more.
