YOBE: Boko Haram terrorists distribute pamphlets, attack new IGP’s hometown

*Our target: those who do not believe in our ideology, our teachings, Christians and even Muslims – Sect

BOKO HARAM terrorists have launched another attack on Geidom Local Government Area of the state.

This is coming two months after the insurgents launched their first attack on February 9, 2021 in the wake of the visit of the new Chief of Army Staff, Ibrahim Attahiru to the town.

Attahiru had gone to Geidom on a morale-boosting visit to troops on the battlefield  in the Northeast.

But the recent attack happened yesterday, curiously in the hometown of the acting Inspector General of Police, Usman Alkali Baba.

According to sources, a military jet has been deployed to the town to dislodge the insurgents.

Meanwhile, the terrorists circulated a pamphlet during the attack, urging residents to support their cause to establish a Muslim caliphate or be killed.

The one-page pamphlet reads in part: “Our major aim: to uplift the word of Allah, protect the religion of Islam and the wealth of the followers.

“Our target: those who do not believe in our ideology, Christians and even Muslims who do not believe in our teachings.

“Any Muslim who is not supporting the empire of Islam is our target.

“Anyone who comes to us for forgiveness, and stop fighting us will be exempted from attacks.”
