A handful of Nigerian soldiers went to hide in the bush as
Boko Haram gunmen unleashed fresh attacks on churches in the Chibok area of
Borno state on Sunday June 29, 2014. Residents said dozens of people may have
been killed in the raids on villages roughly 10 kilometres, (six miles) outside
of Chibok, but no one was able to offer an authoritative death toll and the
military was not immediately available to comment.
A Chibok resident revealed that the attackers went to churches with bombs and guns. He equally informed that dozens
of worshippers, including men, women and children were killed.
Enoch Mark, an outspoken Chibok leader since the April 14 kidnappings,
revealed that they are under attack, and cannot tell the number of dead
bodies. "I was told the attackers burnt at least three churches to
the ground." Mark further said that the military had not responded to distress
calls after the attack began, "they just went and got a hiding place in the
bush," he said.
While it was not immediately possible to verify the charge,
if true, it would likely raise further questions about the military effort in
the northeast, the epicentre of Boko Haram’s five-year deadly uprising.
