Boko Haram: Chibok Community Lives In Fear Of Repeat Attack.

The people of Chibok community in Borno are apprehensive at the moment and rightly so as two months after their daughters were abducted from school, and have not been seen, Boko Haram has threatened to come to the community once more.

A highly-placed official of the Chibok Local Government Area, who made this known to journalists on Thursday, said   that in the letter, the insurgents warned Chibok would soon be visited with terror.

He however said that the letter had been shown to police authorities who assured them of maximum protection.

The official, who did not want his name in print, said in spite of the   assurances by the police, the people were living in ‘‘great fear.’’

He said, “Everyone in the LGA believes that  the sect cannot be by pocketed by security men. The letter has further worsened their fear.

“Whenever Boko Haram tells you that they are coming, they will never fail to do so. Our fear now is that, we don’t know when and how they are going to come but our people are in great fear. We are calling for prayers as well as on government to provide adequate security in Chibok.”
