Vestiges of Violence: Episode 98

Listen on: Apple Podcast  |  Google  |  Spotify  |  Buzzsprout  |  RSS


We visit the rocky landscape of Gwoza in southern Borno to speak to people whose loved ones have gone missing. No two stories are exactly the same. Some people were imprisoned by Boko Haram insurgents. Some teachers were abducted from a Qur’anic school, others from a university. Some were arrested by the military as they received treatment at the hospital. Some were captured on their farms or as they escaped to safety. 

One thing that doesn’t change in all these stories, however, is how devastated their families have been since their disappearance.
