God is gradually taking over the fight against Boko Haram as snakes are now chasing the deadly gang out of their hideouts.
The saying that God fights for the helpless is slowly playing itself out in the deadly Sambisa Forest, Borno State, hideout of the insurgent sect, Boko Haram, as reports have emerged that some of their members are now fleeing the owing to the fact that deadly snakes have been attacking them as well as some of them suffering spiritual attacks.
This information was gleaned from two members of the Islamic militant sect who were arrested by members of the Civilian Joint Task Force.
The Daily Post newspapers quoted one of the Boko Haram members, Kolo Mustapha, as saying:
Most
of us are fleeing because there are too many snakes now in the forest;
once they bite, they disappeared and the victims do not last for 24
hours.
We were told that the people of Chibok local government are the ones turning into snake and attacking us in the forest.
He was also quoted as saying that some of their leaders have escaped to Cameroon because they are known to the Nigerian authorities and could be easily identified.
According to him, those of them who lived all their lives in Maiduguri have nowhere to go but to return to the town.
We are pleading with them to spare our lives, we were forced into the sect, but we know that it is not the right way.
I have never killed anyone, but my friend here has killed people.
The
other member, Umar Abor, according to the paper, said Kolo Mustapha was
lying as all of them had participated in all heinous acts by the sect
in the past.
We have fought together since 2010. We have fought in Marte, Bama, Buni Yadima and Gwoza.
We
were not in Chibok, we have not seen the girls but we heard about it.
Our leaders have been talking about it and we have been following all
news from the radio.
We
decided to flee when almost all our comrades are leaving the Sambisa
because of constant attacks by snakes, which we were told was as a
result of the Chibok girls abducted.
They
(our leaders) told us that it was the people of Chibok that are hunting
us through diabolical means in the form of snakes. We were in the
forest in 2010 and 2011; we left and came back last year but we have
never experienced snakes as this year.
It is believed that the Chibok people are using “juju” to pursue us because of their children.
