According to Daily Post, another resident of Chibok, Mallum Chibok revealed that, despite the presence of security men in Chibok, Boko Haram has succeeded in attacking the area which is an indication that, the insurgents are everywhere.
According to him, they kicked again at the reopening of the Chibok market but some people said that normalcy has return.
He said, “I cannot understand the reason why government is
insisting that normalcy has returned when you cannot go to Chibok from
Maiduguri through Damboa?The road has remained shut because Boko Haram
are still operating 21 kilometres away from Maiduguri.
”Today, they opened the market and we lost eight people at a spot with over 30 hospitalized. From what we have been told, now as we speak some of the people who were taken to the hospital gave up as soon as they reached the hospital in Uba. This is according to the text massage I just received. Look at it, they said another six died bringing the number to 14. Since the attack I have received more than 100 calls and more calls and text messages are coming in. This is very unfortunate and unbelieving. It is sad for us.”
