Pregnant Woman Fleeing Boko Haram Attack Delivers Baby In The Bush
Category: Boko Haram News
A
pregnant woman reportedly gave birth to a baby girl in the bush at
Kala-Balge community in Borno State, north-eastern Nigeria while
allegedly fleeing from attacks by the Boko Haram sect.
Abba Abdulmuminu, a native of the Kala-Balge community, told journalists during a press conference at the Correspondents Chapel in Bauchi that the woman, whose name was not identified, delivered the baby on Tuesday.
He said she was among thousands of natives of the local
government area, who had fled their homes because of constant terror
attacks on the people of Kala-Balge by members of the deadly boko haram
sect.
It could be recalled that the people of Kala-Balge were commended last month when they defended themselves from the attacks of the Boko-Haram insurgents when they killed over 300 of the terrorists who had attacked them.

Mr. Abdulmuminu said: “As a result of that attack, one month ago, the Boko-Haram members have regrouped and are killing the people of Kala-Balge community. In fact, as I am talking to you now, almost all the people of Kala-Balge villages and towns have fled. Some of them are in the border between Cameroon and Nigeria while some are in the bush.
“Only
on Tuesday, I was informed that a woman gave birth to a baby girl in
the bush. There was no water, no shelter and no food because it is a
semi-desert area and there are no trees there. So the people there, even
those in the borders, live under scorching sun.”
