Boko Haram militants earlier today invaded a prestigious Nigerian Police training college in Gwoza, Borno state.The militants numbering 200 arrived the Police Mobile Force Training School with five armored tanks earlier seized from the Nigerian army units that tried unsuccessfully to dislodge the sect from Gwoza in the last two weeks. Police sources told Saharareporters that the college had five units in training with each unit having 59 trainees and unit commander. The units affect were two Mobile Police(MOPOL) units from Nasarawa, Gombe and MOPOL 50 from Abuja. Two other units from Zamfara were also at the college during the attack.

Several of the trainees were reportedly killed and injured by the militants. A good number of the trainees also fled to the mountains nearby while some of the trainees managed to escape to Adamawa state. A police source told Saharareporters that the militants blew up an armored tank stationed at the gate of the training college before gaining entrance into the school and wreaking havoc.

Boko Haram took over Gwoza some two weeks ago, hoisted its flag and appointed an Emir to administer the strategic northeastern township. Attempts by the Nigerian army to retake the town has been repelled by the militants in deadly counter attacks that have claimed several Nigerian soldiers. New efforts at mobilize troops to march on Gwoza has been bogged by mutiny by troops and their families who simply refuse to take orders from their superiors to take on Boko Haram fighters as they express concern that their weaponry cannot match those of Boko Haram.

That's the kind of news we get in Nigeria... The villians are more loaded than the heroes because the heroes are sponsored by babies while the villians are sponsored by the tops and heads.


Meanwhile some people are eating and looting the Nation's money, while seeing this as a kind of action movie.

BH never catch ebola?

I'm hoping for the day what happened in "Olympus has fallen" comes alives in Aso rock

I want to believe that this Sahara Reporters are not part of bh. They are always the first to report their activities..

The near invincibility and braggadocios nature of BH has truly emasculated our over-rated and hyped military indeed.

Can you imagine that our military is slowly arming those renegades with weapons by fleeing at every encounter and leaving high calibre ordinances to bolster their madness?

Is this how the so called sophisticated weapons being awaited will be turned over to these scallywags by our civilian-brutalizing army who can not stand up to their mates now that they have seen one?

What sort of training are our officers getting from NDA these days that a mere rag-tag, Gorro- chewing illiterate gang has held the nation at her jugular for this long without a reciprocal and decisive effort to salvage her?

It beats my imagination that we just sit by and allow BH to take the fight to us while we go on the counter which has often proved futile and costly judging from the reports we read daily. What ever happened to the dictum of " surprise attack"?

Nigeria! Please save thyself Before another copy- cat ISIS blow up in our face before long.
