The people of Gujba local government area of Yobe state will never forget August 2014. It was the August in which Boko Haram overran Buni Yadi the headquarters of Gujba Local Government, precisely on 21 August.
The ruthless insurgents imposed their laws on the people. They hoisted their flag over the residence of the District Head, which they were said to have used as a base. The militants also instituted the system’; summarily executing people and taking food and other essentials by force.
In February of the same year, 59 boys were killed at the Federal Government College of Buni Yadi. Boko Haram also burned down twenty-four buildings of the school. What was left of Buni Yadi was ruins and homes deserted by owners who have to flee to safety. The large weekly market could no longer hold and the local economy of the whole area was brought to a halt.
