As we have witnessed in the passed and presently in syria, afghanistan, iraq and all other terror war hotspot, jounalist and reporters are always at the war front given update on the war front.

The case is different in Nigeria where no media is allowed at the front and all information is passed to the press from Abuja, which cannot be verified as telecommunications have been cut off, this cut in telephony was definitely not made stop BH from communication as evidence by the military itself that they have intercepted radio communication of BH which mean the BH members use walkie talkies, the cut was made so that information cannot be passed around through other forms of media mainly the new social media.

The consequence of this is that propaganda will be the other of the day by both the military and Boko Haram as witnessed recently.

The question is what are the military hiding, all I will say is that information can only be delayed but not suppressed, my candid advice to the miltary is to come clean in their operation against the Boko Haram as most Nigerians are with them and allow the press access to independent reports .
