Babagana Bukar is a fourteen year- old who survived the attack of the dreaded Islamic extremist called Boko Haram  Which has been operating  in the North- East. Killing  people and causing hardship for the people in that area.


Babagana Bukar is a live to tell the story how his father was killed in his very present and him      taken captive forced to join the dreaded sect.
Cable revealed that Babagana and his family woke up on the early hours of  that fateful day to have Sahur A per-dawn meal before the commencement  of the day's fast which is always embrace by Muslim  faithfuls.

After the meal follows by  normal ablution preparing them for Salat-al-faji the first prayer for the day when the terrorist invaded their home

He said     

Any man who was old enough was killed. I watched them slaughter my father 

Him alone side with others whose father were brutally killed were taken as captive and was forced to join the terrorist group as foot soldiers.
Babagana spoke in local language Kanuri explaining how they were forced out of home. 

“They rallied us and we were forced to follow them, with the goods that they took from our homes.” 

 

The young Babagana was not ready to join a sect that killed his father in the quest to gain territories and " do  the will of Allah" every attempt to brainwash the young man did not  bear fruit.
he was looking for every attempt to escape. And he finally did.

“When I had my chance, I ran, and as God will have it, I escaped Boko Haram. I came across a river, which was knee-deep. I carried my bicycle and walked through the river, on my way through Gamboru.

Bukar slept along the Gamboru border of Nigeria and Cameroon on his first night, but his destination was Chad.

For him, it was more reasonable to travel to Chad than to make his way to the state capital, Maiduguri, Nigeria, and his reasons are understandable.

Bukar who is now 16, said he avoided every path where he saw prints of motorcycles and cars, finding his way through bushes and villages.

“Engineer”, as he is fondly called because of his skills with phone repairs, narrated how he went from Gamboru, to Gwado, to Afade, then Kousséri, a city in northern Cameroon, before crossing over to Chad, where he met up with his grandmother, after four tiring days on the road.
