Boko Haram sect members operating in Northern Nigeria are “resilient warriors” who are guided by ideological beliefs and are fearless in confronting the security agencies, a member of Nigeria’s Joint Task Force (JTF), has said.

The soldier, who requested anonymity, told SaharaReporters that the sect has many bases in the North that are yet to be unraveled, where they are brainwashing young Muslims. He said any one under-estimating them should rethink because the sect will never accept dialogue or any form of mediation unless they are crushed.

The soldier further said that members of the sect undertake certain rituals that make them fearless and focused in their insurgency and terrorists acts, adding that those under interrogation in JTF’s base usually confess that “they are doing Allah’s work” or “Jihad”.

The soldier explained, “I have been to Dafur and Liberia, but never experienced these kinds of fighters. Rebels want power but these ones want death, they are just resilient warriors. You will see a small boy fearless and exchanging gun fire with us and even killing and injuring our colleagues.

He described how one of them nearly killed him last year in Damaturu. “We used to buy local food somewhere; from nowhere they trailed us and opened fire on us killing two of our colleagues, we escaped by luck with gun wounds.”

Of their use of rituals, he said those who have been capture had told them about it. “We believed them because the level of their ideology and commitment to their action proved so. We usually recover charms and other belongings related to acts of sorcery.”

The message is this "they should be crushed"!!!

when dey leave north and enter other states,we shall know whether dey are warriors or not.

If they really want death, lagos is not far.. .. they'll see death they'll run

So they are into black magic too. Just like Hitler they are getting really desperate to win this war.

Go n ask ur jonas about his Boko siblings!

Ur baseless ranting on Nairaland wnt solve d Problem

Anybody thinking that killing these folks will stop them will have re think.
Except we outlaw Islam.

Why won't they be resilient? The rate at which muslim youth in the north are being seduced by the extremist ideology is more than alarming.

I took a walk on saturday morning in a shanty town by a railway line being built close to area one roundabout in abuja. I passed by a small stand with speakers that was booming forth the voice of a speaker in arabic (I think) hailing mujaheddin in the kashmir, afghanistan and somalia.

There were young men milling around the speakers seemingly fired up by what they were hearing. Now this happened in abuja oh! What about places further up north?

The influence of iran has been a terrible blight as well

na lord lugard cause dis nonsense

They are just drugmongers. Terrorists are known to be always 'high'.

we need to level that area first nd turn it into farm land to feed the rest of africa.

Indirectly JTF are saying ωε can't curb these ppl.

noblezone: Anybody thinking that killing these folks will stop them will have re think.

So you outlaw Islam and then what? Commit genocide on half of Nigeria? Anyway, critical reasoning is only for those who have a brain. Muslims are also victims of Boko Haram. If we could do a census, the radical sect would not even have up to 5000 fighters.

What government need to do is infiltrate the sect.

geeez: Let them blow just one goat in Yorubaland and we will know how many bars their resilience has

Bravado. Careful what you wish. Can you shoot an AK 47? Internet warrior.

Your response seems to be making a little bit of sense until your deluded mentality, of course, let you to mention the influence of Iran.

sheyie2007: If they really want death, lagos is not far.. .. they'll see death they'll run

The diff however is those folks are ready and willing to die as opposed to SW SS SE folks with a high sense of value to life.

Charms? Does it mean charms are used in Islam. Anyway i wont be surprisd because of those things they pray with just lyk the GREAT CHURCH. My grandfather used that also whenever he went to the village deity.

Bros, don't misunderstand me.

To outlaw Islam is to attempt the impossible! I am simply bringing to fore the impossibility of stopping killings in the North in name of "Allah", his Prophet and his religion of "peace".

Mohammed himself had his own pool of blood, Usman Dan Fodio had his in Northern Nigeria.

The killings in the North in the name of Islam started before I was born, it has continued since I was born and will never stop.

Unless the Islamic religion is enforced and all non Moslems becomes second class citizens, then there will be "peace".
Else, we can continue to deceive ourselves.

Your 5,000 estimate is not true. The average Hausa/Fulani Moslem is a potential Jihardist.
Know now, if you dont know.

People fighting in the name of religion can be very stubborn in their campaign

I strongly doubt that. When kasala burst, parents, wives will be like pls stay inside and lock the door o. Don't join the rascals and ruffians in agberoism oooo. Our folks are cowardly primarily cos of love of life.

basisop: The message is this "they should be crushed"!!!

Gurriella war and insurgency has never been crushed, that is why Afghanistan is still at war after 12 years of Nato presence, that is why the Iraq war is still on after 10 year, that is why the FARC rebels of columbia still sway now they are having a dialogue.

Without dialogue this will go on for years mark my word especially due to the fact that this boys are not after money like the Niger Delta militant but based on ideology that they are doing Gods work.

Dialogue is the only way out then the boy should be re oriented back to the society.
