The police college overrun by Boko Haram sect over a week ago has
been converted into the base of the terrorist group, according to the
Director, Catholic Social Communications, Maiduguri Diocese of the
Catholic Church, Gideon Obasogie, who narrated the account of a
survivor to Saturday PUNCH on Friday.
The clergyman in both telephone chat and e-mail to our
correspondent, said, “I am sad, really sad to my bone marrows about
this ugly development. The world must know the truth; people were
captured and taken to the police training ground for serious training
as combatants. It is now one of their strongest bases.
“The missing policemen have joined the Boko Haram instructors. The
guys are multiplying in number, weaponry and geographical
expansion.”
When asked how he got the knowledge of happenings in the captured
police college, Obasogie revealed that he was briefed by a member of
his church who was one of the policemen being held captive at the
college by the group, but had managed to escape through the hills
into Yola, Adamawa State capital.
The college is a riot police academy in Liman Kara, on the outskirts of
Gwoza, a hilly town in Borno State, North-East Nigeria. It is one of
only two riot police training colleges in Nigeria.
The Boko Haram insurgents had on Wednesday, August 21, 2014
attacked the Police Academy, Gwoza, Borno State, and seized not less
than 200 assault rifles from the riot policemen on training.
It was learnt that the police authorities resumed the suspended
training with the batch of 159 personnel from the Police Mobile Force
only for them to be attacked a week into the exercise on Wednesday.
Investigations further revealed the insurgents did not encounter any
strong resistance from the police personnel as the riot policemen
were directed to keep all their guns at the armoury of the academy
before Boko Haram attacked the academy and captured the armoury.

Is it kite or empty cartons that Nigerian AirForce is flying that they cant bomb and send dis pple to meet their 72 virgins faster. Its high time Jonathan wipes out d check book and goes shopping in d west for some sophisticated fighter jets.

Government is seriously loosing it in this country! Instead of going to SSS or any similar outfit to be debriefed, the escaped Policeman/police trainee chose to go for debriefing with the clergy SMH for naija

this is getting serious

He deserves more than a query bro! He needs to be sacked and prosecuted!

Its too early because "everything is under control" and I don't think Mr President should do anything this early till maybe 2020 when BH may have captured the entire North

This is not funny, police instructors have now become boko haram instructors.

Laud ham marcy on Nigeria.

Boko haram everywer; police,nigerian army,senate,presidency,state goverment, religious bodies, local citizens,international bodies,even nairaland. Only God is trusted in dis case,i believe we shall conquer at d end.we hav God

but

smartchoice: so he can be killed like others abi? nansense seems you don't know the poo you guys are in!

but the poliman himself did not say they killed anybody, they only change their role from being a police to being a boko

[b][/b]When the cats are away, the mice will come out and play.

Surely no one is in power, so boko haram is filling the void!

Nigerians, please be wise with your votes in the coming elections. If there is still a Nigeria in 2015, Jonathan is the least competent to rule over it and all indices shows the authorities in Abuja know who are the real boko haram sponsors, coz only those in authority have the powers to starve and ill-equip our security forces. Jonathan should be taken to the ICC after he must have lost next year.

You don't understand..any insider info about boko haram ops you may never be live to tell the story once law enforcement agents are able to get you intottheir custody. Ask mohd Yusuf and co. The dead..don't sing!

Nairaland is full of confusionists. We are talking about Boko this one is talking about Jona.
You can do well to join the army if you feel you are competent.

studio14: that is the rule in mobile camp, no one except those on guard will be armed, your weapons will be returned to you after training

But in such environment, the men should always be with their guns even if it means sleeping with it under their beds.

By the time boko haram captures the whole of borno state ,then gej and the military will do the right thing. The more messier the whole thing gets the more money they will budget for it. All na naija movie
