Militants take hundreds of hostages in northeast Nigerian town of Kukawa, where displaced residents had just returned under military escort
Nigerian military secure the area where a man was killed by suspected militants during an attack around Polo area of Maiduguri, Nigeria, February 16, 2019.
They seized those who had returned to the town in a government operation on August 2 after spending nearly two years in displacement camps, said local militia head Babakura Kolo. They had been living in camps in the regional capital Maiduguri, 180 km away, where they fled following a bloody attack in November 2018.A local chief who accompanied the residents to the town said the people had returned with the hope of working on their farmlands "only to end up in the hands of the insurgents."
"Kukawa is of limited value in itself, but the border region of Baga — on the shores of Lake Chad — is an important transition zone to Chad and Cameroon, and its control is important to ISWAP ... for tactical and economic reasons," he said. In the last two years, local authorities have been encouraging the displaced to return home, despite concern by international charities that this is not safe.
