Ali Umar, known to be a resident in the area also stated that the fire was so large and all their food items were set on fire after looting.

Ali Umar said in a statement:

“The destruction is too much for us to bear, all our houses was burnt down and our shops looted as well burnt down. All the source of our livelihood is gone. We are helpless! It is unfortunate that the authority concerns are not doing much to protect us, the soldiers were telling us yesterday to run because they don’t want to die. I think it is high time we stand up and face reality.

“We can’t go beyond 5km from Molai without seeing Boko Haram and everytime we keep reporting to them (the army) but nothing was done about it.”
