-JTF kills 35 members in Yobe,- Kingpin shot dead in Adamawa,

-156 sect members arrested ,- Arms, ammunition recovered

There was a massive security crackdown on the Boko Haram sect in the Northeast yesterday.
A kingpin of the sect was gunned down in Adamawa State during a gun fight; 35 others were killed in Yobe.
No fewer than 156 members of the sect that has been responsible for unprecedented attacks and the death of close to 1,000 people were arrested in the raids.

Guns and explosives in various forms and shades, ammunition, army and police uniforms, mobile telephone SIM cards, vehicle number plate, and drugs were among the 67 items seized from the sect’s hideout in Yobe, according to the Joint Task Force (JTF).
The Yobe JTF said a house-to-house search, which started at the weekend and lasted till the early hours of yesterday, to flush out the insurgents led to an “unprecedented success in the clampdown on suspected terrorists”.

JTF Spokesman in Yobe Lt. Lazarus Eli, who said the operation was continuous, confirmed that 35 members of the sect had been killed.

In Adamawa, the internal joint army-police security, “Operation Restore Sanity”, said it killed a key commander of the sect, Abubakar Yola, alias Abu Jihad, in a shoot-out early yesterday, in Mubi
Also arrested were 156 persons, including four believed to be unit commanders involved in the recent bombings of MTN, Globacom and Airtel base station masts.

Five women and six children were rescued in a house believed to be an arms and ammunition dump.

The Brigade Commander of 23rd Armoured Brigade, Brig.-Gen. John Nwoaga, in company with police commissioner and the director of State Security Services (SSS), said the kingpin was shot during a gun battle with his men.

He said over 300 improvised explosive devices, 25 assorted brands of rifles, mostly AK 47 submachine guns, were recovered.
There were over 2000 daggers, swords, bows and arrows seized.
The compound at Shagari Low Cost Housing, Mubi was where the items were seized.
But the sect members seem undaunted, in spite of the clampdown.
The home of the Speaker of the Yobe State House of Assembly, Mr. Adamu Dala Dogo, was on Sunday night set ablaze.

Also burnt down by assailants suspected to be Boko Haram members was the house of the younger brother to the governor, Alhaji Sheriff Gaidam, and Hon. Goni Bukar, a member of the House of Representatives from Yobe state.
An eyewitness said two beheaded bodies were seen being carried away by security operatives yesterday morning.

The home of the speaker and the two others are located at Shagari Low Cost Housing Estate on Gashua Road, one of the troubled areas of the city.
The onslaught on the houses was said to have been lunched between 2am and 4am on Sunday night. The local security attached to the houses fled when the assailants came in a large number.
“Nobody was killed because the Speaker, the lawmaker and the governor’s brother evacuated their immediate families soon after peace eluded Damaturu.”

“The local guards attached to the houses also fled,” Kabiru Musa, a resident said, adding:
“However, when I peeped through the window this morning, I saw a military pick up van zooming up with two beheaded bodies…it was a gory sight. I also saw smoke billowing in the direction of the house of the speaker.
A source at the Yobe State Police Command confirmed the burning of the three houses and the killing of the two civilians.

Guys.. some of d Juma'a boiz brgade are members of Boko Haram, they are trained frm kida. I remembered vividly one who tored his OND certificate left Kd, claiming western Edu. is haram. & he is Juma'a brigade.

Provided they were arrested in the terror torn zone, they should be held in detension and executed accordingly after due interrogation and arrival at concrete conclusion. We shouldn't be so quick to forget how many innocent souls these pear heads wasted just recently and they rather demonstrate against a movie on the late prophet muhammad than condemn or even mourn the large number of christians murdered by BH. Time to dance the tune of karma, no lamentations please.

Good effort...they are reducing one-by-one

megxo: hahahhaha....... r we supposed 2 say AMEN! 2 DAT?
