1,500 People Killed By Boko Haram In First 3 Months Of 2014..Says Arewa Group

The Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) has said that reports reaching it indicated  that over three million people were displaced, 1,500 people killed and property worth billions of naira destroyed as a result of insurgency attacks in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa states within a period of three months between January  to  March 2014.

ACF, in a statement issued to journalists in Kaduna on Wednesday by its National Publicity Secretary, Muhammad Ibrahim, expressed worry that the spate of killings in the Northern states of Nigeria by gunmen and insurgents had continued to pose serious security challenges to the nation’s security agencies.

“The daily attack on villages and communities by unknown gunmen and insurgents in most states of the North is barbaric, worrisome and unacceptable,” the statement said.
