Nearly two million people, dislodged from their home towns, in remote parts of Borno State by insurgency, had found temporary shelter in the capital city and safer havens in nearby states.
The recent military successes and recapture of some of the troubled towns has paved way for locals to return to their home towns.
Residents of Mainok town in Kaga Local Government Area are happy to return home after nearly two years sojourn in makeshift camps. Governor Kashim Shettima says aside food items, farms have been procured in the first phase of the intervention to enable the IDPS continue with their lifestyles. One of the IDPs, Halimatu Ali in appreciation said, “We are grateful, we have never received any kind of help since we returned, we only hear about it until today. We thank Bill and we pray for him.” Child soldiers brandishing Dane guns and unconventional weapons is a common sight in Mainok, even as the Civilian JTF leave nothing to chance in their quest to totally rid the town of criminals.
