kilometer’s to escape insurgents in
a massive attack that had left his
brother missing his friend dead

received news from home, of the
conquest by our troops over Boko
Haram in the battle that lTed to
the victory and reclaiming of Baga

for others living in the IDPs Camp,
initially thought an impossible feat,
Thomas had to confirm the news of the
Troops victory from an Uncle who
currently lives in Baga. He said: “We are
really happy with what has been
happening over there at Baga, i called
my uncle and he said the military have
won.” An excited Thomas, who
expressed who expressed confidence
though he lacks knowledge of the
whereabouts of his family members, he
his sure that that they will all return
Home. “Several of my family members,
I don’t know where they are now and I
cannot reach them, but I know that if
they hear that Baga is safe they will try
and return there.”
Narrating the Story of his displacement
from Baga, Thomas said: “I was in the
farm with my brother and he decided to
pack some yams home when he was
gone, I started hearing gun-shots and
heavy sounds like bombs, so I ran into
the bush. After walking for long I saw
other people with leathers and bags in
their hand and we all started heading by
foot towards Maiduguri. I have not
heard from my brother since then, I
hope he is alright.”
Thomas had no blames for anyone as he
only looks forward to being re-united
with members of his family and his
friends and the #VictoryForNigeria in

hope after weeks of despair. Apparently

Haram Terrorists and their promoters,
he hoped that they never return to his
beloved Baga again. “It is just that we
dont know if this Boko Haram people
will return again”. Thomas said.
And no matter the reservations of the
doubting thomases, To Mr. Thomas
from Baga, our troops victory is assured
and offers him a much awaited chance
to go back home.
