People living in border towns in Borno and Yobe States have sent a distress call to the Federal Government and the states’ governments that Boko Haram mercenaries from Chad Republic had taken over their villages.
Villagers, who escaped from Gajigana, one of the villages recently attacked by the insurgents, urged the federal government to save them from the hands of the Chadian whom they informed are now administering court proceedings in the area.
“The Chadian rebels from Mangal now preside over meetings in most of the villages. They sit in courts and hear disputes and pass judgment for the locals who are in dispute with one another.
“Just before they attacked Gajigana last week, the Manga tribesmen of Chad came around to judge the people. As a matter of fact, some days before the attack on Gajigana, there was a problem between one of our friends and a Fulani man who took his herd of cattle into the farm of our friend.
“After our inability to resolve the ensuing dispute – which had taken a dangerous dimension, we had to report the matter to Boko Haram men, who came to resolve the matter. They found the Fulani man guilty and ruled that he must pay a fine equivalent of five bags of beans within 24 hours or face death penalty and the Fulani man quickly complied.
“Government institutions such as the courts and the local government buildings have been taken over by Boko Haram members who are mostly Chadians,” Ali Modu Kawu, one of those that escaped from the village told our correspondent in Maiduguri.
Kawu informed that the Chadian Boko Haram mercenaries are more deadly and brutal than the other Boko Haram members he has heard of, adding that “whatever they say is final and you dare not protest.”
