BOKO HARAM: UMTH Receives More Corpses, Izge Community Set To Begin Fasting

More corpses have been received at the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital, from Izge, a community in Gwoza Local Government council of Borno State.
A source told journalists in Maiduguri:
"Some of the corpses are too bad that we could not accept them here; the hospital is overwhelmed with the number of corpses. Most of them are victims of the Boko Haram attacks in Konduga, Damboa and Gwoza. There are some corpses that were taken to other hospitals and if we have about 100 or there about, that tells you more people have died. I cannot tell exactly, but the case of Izge, as I was made to understand hit 213."
According to one of the community residents, Elder Thomas they were not going to blame anyone for the murders, but instead woul start fasting and praying for God's divine intervention.
"We are not feeling as if we belong to Nigeria, we have lost everything to Boko Haram, the state government is not reaching to us and when the Federal government brought relief materials, we were not counted amongst beneficiaries of such relief materials. Our children cannot go home to see their old parents, and those living in our villages in Gwoza are constantly being threatened, maimed and killed. We cannot blame the Boko Haram, we cannot blame government. Whatever they want to do with us, we are at the mercies of God and we seek protection and justice from Him."
It has been also learnt that another resident of Maiduguri, Malam Ishaku Kwambula had previously complained to the authorities that many young men from the communities and surounding villages, who embraced the sect, were carrying guns and walking the streets, threatening people. However, he lamented, nobody listened to their complaints.
