The capture of Bama has led to the discovery of horrendous atrocities
perpetrated by terrorists while their hold on the town lasted.
“A
large number of dead bodies were discovered in wells apparently of some
of their hostages or those who resisted them”, a source told PRNigeria.
Aside those whose bodies were thrown inside wells, others were also
said to have been executed on the River Bama Bridge as the terrorists
fled the town.
Civilians who have been cooperating with troops
also narrated horrendous tales of the brutality of the terrorists while
they held sway and ruled with iron hands, executing their own version of
religious jurisprudence.
An intelligence officer confirmed that
the cordon and search of the town was continuing while some persons in
the town were also being interrogated by troops.
Military and
security sources confirmed to PRNigeria that as troops advanced on Bama,
the terrorists embarked on a killing and maiming spree.
Military
medical teams and emergency workers have been attending to survivors
and evacuating internally displaced persons as screening of the town
continues”, the source said.
When contacted, Defence Spokesman,
Major-General Chris Olukolade declined commenting on specific atrocities
by the terrorists saying specific details will only be given after the
ongoing thorough search of the town and its environments is concluded.
With
the dislodgement of terrorists from most of their locations in the
North-East and especially Bama, mop up operations by troops have been
revealing heart rendering atrocities perpetrated while the terrorists
held sway in the towns and villages.
