Boko Haram Insurgents Steal Food Items To Feed Chibok Girls

Recently, Boko Haram insurgents invaded a lot of villages close to Sambisa Forest in the North East in order to steal food items allegedly to feed the abducted girls. In the past weeks, the Islamic terrorist group stepped up the looting of villages, markets and food stores in Borno, Adamawa and Yobe states for food items including grains and bread, according to Saturday Punch investigations. Residents of these communities disclosed that the insurgents were usually satisfied when communities raised money for them towards "God's work," but lately they had stepped up their activities by invading the villages and carting away food items. With the pressure on Nigerian soldiers to clamp down on the Islamic sect, it was learnt that the insurgents no longer felt safe to go to markets to buy food items for fear of being arrested.
