Boko Haram: Victims Eating Grass And Insects To Survive
The Catholic Church in Maiduguri has stated
that over 90,000 of its members had been
forced out of their homes and many have had
to bury children who died of starvation.
Displaced victims of terrorism in the North-East
have resorted to eating grass and insects in order
to survive, reports say.
The Catholic Church in Maiduguri has stated
that over 90,000 of its members had been forced
out of their homes and many have had to bury
children who died of starvation.
This was disclosed via a press statement by
Director of Information of the Catholic Diocese of
Maiduguri, Rev. Fr. Gideon Obasogie who said
on Sunday, October 26:
“A good number of those trapped around the
Cameroonian borders are gradually finding their
way into Maiduguri. Counting their ordeals, some
will tell you how they fed on grass and insects. A
group from Pulka community alone buried over
80 children, who took ill in the bush and died.”
“As a church, we are really going through a severe
moment of persecution. Our ecclesiastical
circumscription has faced a sharp disintegration.
For now, situation is still as before. No
improvements whatsoever since our people are
still displaced and have no much hope of getting
home.”
Obasogie also added that many Catholics in the
area are still searching for their loved ones who
have gone missing as a result of terrorist attacks.
The church had earlier raised an alarm about
the activities of Boko Haram saying that the
sect had taken control of over 25
communities » in Adamawa and Borno.
