Before the Chibok girls, there
were the Buni Yadi boys. Four years ago, Boko Haram insurgents attacked and
killed 58 male students of Federal Government College, Buni Yadi, Yobe state,
for receiving “western education”.
Abdulkadir Abubakar, one of the
attackers accused of being a Boko Haram spy and cell leader in Buni Yadi,
recently had a chat with TheCable at a military facility where he is being
detained, following his arrest in 2017.
According to him: “Myself and two
other Boko Haram commanders, Abu Fatima and Paper, led most of the attacks on
schools in Yobe between 2013 and 2014."
He says the horrific attacks on
schools and students were coordinated and executed through intelligence
gathering and strategies mapped out under his supervision. He claims Shekau
“unilaterally” ordered attacks on schools, mosques, churches and markets, and also
ordered abduction and rape.
“We were also the ones behind the
abduction of students at Government Girls Secondary School, Chibok. We also
carried out attacks on schools in Potiskum, Mamudo, Damagun, Wagir and
Ngarzarma, all in Yobe state,” he recalls.
“I wholeheartedly regret my
actions and hope the Almighty Allah will forgive me. Allah said he will forgive
whoever repents and asks him for forgiveness. I have repented and sought
forgiveness.”
