A video has emerged online showing residents of Giedam, a community in Geidam local government of Yobe State in their numbers fleeing for their lives after Boko Haram’s attack and invasion of the community.
TheNewsGuru.com, TNG gathered that Geidam is the hometown of the acting Inspector General of Police, Mr. Usman Alkali Baba.
The military had said that it repelled the attack, killing over 20 insurgents and recovered a vehicle and arms.
But the residents said the insurgents hoisted their flags in parts of the community, engaging in house-to-house preaching of their ideologies.
Here's how Geidam residents are fleeing their town in trucks empty-handed as horrible terrorists turn their home into a warzone. Raids like this demonstrate how acutely exposed communities in the North East are. Had ISWAP chosen to kill Geidam residents, 100s would've been dead. pic.twitter.com/CgMPkAuZ7v
