Gunmen in their hundreds in a convoy of 50 Hilux vans attacked Marte Local Government Area of Borno State, yesterday evening, where they succeeded in burning down all public buildings like schools, hospitals/clinics, police stations and all telecommunications masts in the council headquarters. Marte is about 150 kilometres from Maiduguri, the state capital which also shares borders with Baga and Chad Republic. It is also an epicentre of Boko Haram sect which had witnessed series of attacks and bombings. A top police officer in Marte said: “The gunmen invaded the town at about 4p.m with over 50 Hilux 4-wheel drive vehicles armed with sophisticated weapons, chanting Allahu Akbar, meaning (God is Great) and started throwing Improvised Explosive Devices, IEDs, at all public structures without being challenged by security operatives.” Another reliable source said: “Apart from the Lake Chad Development site, no other public structure remained standing in the town as all of them have been destroyed by the terrorists.” Our correspondent gathered that the suspected terrorists had after the Baga carnage, issued a warning that Marte town would be their next target of attack. No life was, however, lost as the terrorists had warned those working in the public buildings in the town to vacate before they struck. Contacted, the state Police Commissioner, Mr. Yuguda Abdullahi and his image maker, DSP Gideon Jubrin’s phones rang several times without response, but a top security officer who did not want his name mentioned confirmed the incident.

At the rate this gun men are going, will there still be any infrastructure left standing in Borno state by the end of this year? Though I don't live in Borno state but am really sad for how this whole story has turned out. This state is gradually becoming a CEMETERY. |

No foroblem. Baa magana. These virgin seekers have evolved way higher than the rest of us mortals who rely on old-fashioned cellphones to communicate. For the virgin tourists, their scowling, bearded God in Virgin Land is the celestial cell-phone provider, who charges no money, and only requests the periodic harvest of blood from selected infidels, to keep the network signal strong and with full coverage. Ayatollah Buhari Bin Laden will no doubt be very proud of the mayhem wreaked by his turbanned virgin-plucking monkeys. 9 Likes |

TERRORISTS NOW MOVE IN A CONVOY OF FIFTY VEHICLES? Fifty Hilux trucks are not as untraceable and inconspicuous as the usual motorcycle they use. 4pm is still daylight, how come there were no trace of them? Did they drive into the atmosphere? Sadly, the effeminate GEJ is currently computing their salaries (amnesty?) for a job well done. #OnlyInNaija. 6 Likes |

When boko haram strikes, the Humaan right watch won't be seen condemning such attacks. When security operatives are killed, Elrufai and co won't condemn it. They've forgotten that these agents have families yet they are killed becos they swore to protect their fatherland. Isn't this a clear case of conspiracy? 24 Likes |

Would it make sense to simply declare borno a no-drive zone. I know this is a dumb suggestion, but seriously it should not be hard to track these cars. |

Where are the El-Rufai,Lai Mohammed,Senator Lawan,Human Right,EU,American who never belived the story of the Nigeria Government on the Baga carnage? Where are those branding satilite Map to show the whole world the Nigeria Military are Demons? Am sure if the Military intervane,we would have witness another Baga Episode and the whole world will accuse the Military for human right abuse.I suggest the Military should fold the arms and allowed these animals destroy their own town since the people the military are there to protect prefare to provide shelter for terrorist. 10 Likes |

baynix: Now Shi.t Just Got Real! i remember a news early this week or late last week when a news of police halting the attack of the boko harams but the boko harams were able to collect 2 hilux van from the police. I said the police didn't halt any attack, cos they have succeeded in achieving their aims of snatching police van. These are some of the things in addition to the sponsors they recieve from some political stakeholders. 1 Like |

Baga apologists...where are you? Human Rights Watch...where are you? ACN and Lai Mohammed...can you see this? Nasir El-Rufai...what can be done now? Opposition Media...please, say something now? Senator Lawan, National Assembly....please, come to the aid of Borno but without the services of our gallant JTF! The Military did not engage a convoy of 50 trucks of terrorists who invaded a town by 4.00pm and having informed residents there were coming...because of "WHY?" They could have engaged them but the terrorists will still achieve some level of destruction, then the "northern Elders" will score a political point by accusing the C-in-C and the army. This time around, the army stood and watched. They have endured so many hate from the media. Alas, terrorists from another country wants to take Borno State 300 years behind....so sad indeed! I cry for Borno. But our "Northern Elders" must tell themselves the truth. Our opposition must unite with the ruling party. They must see this as it is...TERROR! IF Borno is overtaken by Islamists, the opposition will not even go there to campaign. Human Rights Watch will shut down its satellite over Borno. Where is their satellite image of Afghanistan or Iraq or Pakistan I cry for Nigeria!!!! 14 Likes |

I am not a Boko apologist, but how come 50 Hilux van will drive into a town starting from 4pm and raze down all structures, yet claim there was no life lost and no security agent challenged them? Ok, so it is now easy to drive in 50 hilux vans into town for an operation and drive out of town after completing the operation, yet no major newspaper or TV station (even those abroad) will carry the news? I think this news na wash.......... am sorry to say this, in case am wrong. |

I think I like the tactics the millitary is adopting to fight these "allah boys",it is demoralising fighting a man that wants to die! So they shouldn't be on the defensive bt rather offensive,no engaging them in a prepared crossfire bt rather attack them when they are gathered,always stay in the barrack if u must put on your millitary wears,afterallterrorism thrive where there is active connaivance or perharp silence with the host community.

What does borno expect to achieve by aiding these terrorists. It is destroying borno and Nigeria has no money to start building a city from scratch. Bottomline, they are in for some tough times. What were they thinking  |
