The insurgent Islamic Sect in the Northern part of Nigeria has given the country’s security service a tough time to combat with almost every week going down with an attack.
While recalling his time in the Sect camp, He told journalist how they gather guns and other ammunitions.
Confession
I deliberately wanted to talk to journalists to help me tell youths not to join Boko Haram because it won’t do them any good. We carried out an attack recently on a Sunday at Damboa (Damboa Local Government) after the morning prayers but the operation was bad as I was shot in the leg by the security people. My colleagues attempted to carry me but left me and fled at a point because they thought I was dead. So they left me in the bush. I writhed in pains in the bush until a time by noon when I mustered all the remaining energy in me to crawl and got to a road. I saw some children and explained my situation to them. After sometime, some policemen came and took me to their station. I told them I wanted to confess even if they were going to kill me that I had wanted to leave Boko Haram sect but I was in a difficult situation. I couldn’t leave because they would kill me if I attempted to and if I continued, either the security or the Civilian JTF will still kill me. I asked for water and the police officer ordered food and some energy drinks. I opened up to the policemen at the station and I was later moved to a military barracks where the soldiers have kept me since. They took me to the hospital to treat my wound and they’ve been giving me good food since, compared to when I was in the bush.
He also told journalist how his brother forced him to join the sect, and now realises that the works of the sect are evil, not what they were told while in the camp.
