Umar described how, during the heat of the attack, he fled to another neighborhood in an interview that has since gone viral. He claimed that after arriving in Dandabi with his brother, he fled while pleading with God to intervene after hearing gunshots.
Umar’s desire to receive an education does not waver in spite of his unfortunate circumstances. He said, “I want to go to school so I can stop my mother from going into the forest.” “Even if she stops going to the forest, she still needs to look for food for the family,” I said, wanting her to stay at home.
Many such instances throughout the country, particularly in the northern area, are perfectly captured by Umar’s experience.
Despite the reforms in the military and security establishment, many people bemoaned the continued level of insecurity in the area. Farmers have been driven from their land, raising the prospect of poverty and starvation, while bandits turned terrorists are still killing, kidnapping, attacking, and displacing women, children, and even adults. In addition, it has been stated that it is impeding the nation’s progress in addition to the attacks.
Not only have the impoverished and middle-class citizens suffered from the banditry, but state and federal lawmakers, among other political figures, have also been prevented from visiting their constituents.
