further details, as at now, we are
busy, but I will get back to you,
please exercise patience”. Dole
said after issuing his statement.

It's seriously a great attack. The greatest attack in the history of boko haram. Infact,these boko haram guys are very fearless and bold. There is no place they're ever afraid of attacking.

How can this infidels plan and carryout such a fatal attack in a city that is under and emergency rule.... The military should accept the fact that the are not capable and spare us this humiliation in the foreign media..... Its high time we called on the pentagon

72 virgins things!!!!

when will all dis end

Why can't the military carry out the attack instead of always being on the defensive?
They are paid to attack and flush out boko haram from those states not to sit on their arsès and wait to be attacked.
What nonsense!
