BOKO HARAM: I SLEPT IN TENTS AFTER I RETURNED HOME TO ENCOURAGE MY PEOPLE _ BORNO MONARCH.

The Emir of Akira-Uba in Borno, Alhaji Abdullahi Ibn-Muhammed, said he slept in a tent when he returned home after his kingdom was liberated from the control of Boko Haram insurgents.

Recounting his ordeal, Mohammed, said he voluntarily returned home and slept for several weeks in a tent to build confidence and encourage his subjects to also return home.

Mohammed said this on Saturday when Brig.-Gen. Bulama Biu, the Acting General Officer Commanding 7 Division and Commander Sector 1, Operation Lafiya Dole, paid him a courtesy visit at his palace in Uba.

Ibn-Muhammed said that when the insurgents sacked the town in 2014, his people ran for their lìves and became Internally Displaced Persons in various places.

“When the town was reclaimed by the military, it took courage to return to my palace along with the members of my traditional institution.

“We returned and saw that most of the structures were razed. They burnt my palace; some of the structures that remain standing are the brick fireplaces of homes.

“Despite all these challenges, we came back and stayed. Some of us were taking shelter in makeshift tents. I slept in my burnt palace. And sometimes when it rained, we have to put our selves together in one place and cover ourselves,” he said.

The monarch commended the efforts and sacrifices of the military in safeguarding the peace, security and territorial integrity of the country. KYLEOIVREPORTS.

BEHAVIOUR: WHO CARES???

The other day I was at the airport seeing a friend off after her brief visit to the country. My friend had completed all the check-in procedures and was getting ready to go through to customs. The atmosphere got so hot she suddenly felt like something to drink before she faints or so she said. I opted to get her a bottle of water from one of the eating joints available. As we approached the venue my friend surprisingly suddenly decided that she wanted to calm herself down and have a quiet cup of coffee. We both sat for a few minutes waiting for the attendant to approach us, he looked like he was counting money and doing some paper work. He saw us sitting down quite all right but did not deem it fit to ask us what we wanted. As part of customer service it seems like common knowledge that the next thing would be to render service to the next available customer. With not much time on our hands we eventually needed to sh...
