More than four months after dozens of schoolgirls were seized from their dormitory in Chibok, a sleepy community in Borno State, by the Boko Haram insurgents, fear is still the order of the day for many residents of the area. While some have remained in the community to pick what is left of their lives, others, for fear of being killed, have simply relocated to other parts of the state or found new homes far away from the volatile North Eastern region of the country. For scores in these categories, life has lost its meaning.
“I lost my brother to Boko Haram attack in April of this year in Chibok,” said Emmanuel Daniel, 25, who escaped from the area more than one year ago following series of attacks on Chibok and relocated to Lagos together with seven of his brothers.
