The lawmaker disclosed this during a stakeholders\u2019 Senate Committee on Special Duties and the North East Development Commission (NEDC) in Maiduguri, on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
He lamented that the activities of the insurgents had made him unable to travel home.<\/p>\n
Ndume disclosed that in one day, the insurgent also killed several young residents.<\/p>\n
He, however, noted that the level of insecurity in Gwoza had overwhelmed security operatives.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cEven as a serving senator, I still cannot go to Gwoza my home town because it is not safe.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur security operatives are trying their bests, and we have to give it to them. But the situation is overwhelming.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere was a time in my home town Gwoza, that about 75 elders most of whom I know personally were dragged by Boko Haram to the town\u2019s abattoir and slaughtered like animals. Only two persons survived because their bodies were covered with other people\u2019s blood and the assailants thought they were dead.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the same Gwoza, Boko Haram had in a single day lined up young men and summarily shot them dead. These were just some stand out cases.\u201d<\/p>\n
