NafeesaAA:
Boko Haram came to Damaturu immediately after Subhir prayers. They surrounded the town from three front, One team headed straight from Gujuba to Yobe State University. Another team headed past the MOPOL base to the city thru New Jerusalem and the last group took position just behind the JTF HQ.

The mission of the first group is to demolished any resistant from the MOPOL as they are the first group of security formation they will encounter along the way. This will effectively give them free passage to the Government House which is just about 5-6km from the MOPOL base.

Attacking the Government House comes with two advantage, one it is the seat of the Government and secondly just besides the Government House is a military detention facility known as Gontanamo Bay. It is believed that senior members of Boko Haram are under detention in that facility. One will expect Boko Haram will make attempt at releasing some of their members as they did in Giwa barracks.

The last group heads straight to JTF HQ. Their mission probably is to get hold of some new procurement of military hardwares the JTF have been testing for quite some time.
To Be Continue.

NafeesaAA:
The First group successfully over ran the MOPOL base despite brave resistance from the boys. They then join up with the second group and lunched a daring attack at the Government House. At the initial stage they seemed to have the upper hand, but a combination of Special forces and Police CTU guarding the Government House, they overcome the initial attack and inflicted massive casualty on the Boko Haram members. After suffering losses, they regroup and lunch another attack, that was when military Jets and Attack helicopters came in from Yola and started shelling them. Many where killed, many scattered to various direction. While retreating, they started setting houses on fire and they returned back to the MOPOL base and burnt the entire structures. Not done with they burnt the admin block of the Yobe state university, which I was told was the only structure affected.

The last group of fighters consisted of some of Boko Haram hardened and tested fighter where tasked with taking over the JTF HQ. That group came with suicide bombers, one suicide bomber rammed his explosives ridden vehicle at the gate of the JTF HQ while fighting was on going. But miraculously, the bomb refused to detonate, the suicide bomber came out of the vehicle and attempted to detonate the bomb manually before he was taken down by multiple burst of fire from our gallant troops. Seeing that their suicide attempt at getting into the JTF HQ is gone they retreated after coming under heavy helicopters gunshot. Many where also killed and reports reaching me indicate that some Boko Haram members where bombed while retreating back to Gujuba. A handful of them where arrested after the civilian JTF entered into the battle.

Throughout the inferno, no troop abandon or ran away, they all stood and fought off all fire from Boko Haram. Them Boko Haram thought it was going to be like the initial successful attack they carried out last year December, in which massive destruction was melted on our security agencies. This time it was a different ball game, the NA really did great and made everyone proud, All my sources are saying Boko Haram left Damaturu with a hard lesson learnt. Many of them killed and many more arrested.

The president ought to pay a top secret unscheduled visit to the troops at the warfront to boost morale. When he gets there he should announce a big wage increase for fighters on the front. Soldiers who die should be buried with full military honour and a top official present. These are the sort of things that will encourage our soldiers. Gej should act like a war president

The rate at which unconfirmed and unsubstantiated news are hitting the front page these days are quite alarming! In Seun's bid to satisfy the hay pee cee bed fellows, the credibility of NL is going to the 'dogs'. While I personally understand the need for fairness and equality, having it at the expense of confusion, and promoting propganda is unacceptable! It is not by force to have opposition news on the front page especially when they have nothing to offer.

This morning it was human rights takes GEJ to court for abuses. This topic was later chainged to NGO's rather than human rights as earlier speedily put up on the front page.
Seun and the mods be guided! Maintain professionalism, don't be pressured into promoting hay pee cee's propaganda agenda just to save face or appear neutral.
Most news from these fellows (hay pee cee) are from unknown blogs and cooked up websites. Do your best to feed Nigerians the true and accurate news especially on the front page. Thanks!

you are right.but with the level of compromise in the NA. it is not advisable. those monsters called BK can do anything to have GEJ if Intel gets to them that he is in the north east. As good as the idea sounds, not safe at all for the number one citizen. God help Nigeria

Thanks a lot for your report, it was quite detailed, you kind of take me to the war theatre. You put a big shame to the 'Original Poster' (OP) who said he was reporting from the bush, but I believe he just listened to NTA news and started his fictitious report.

Sorry for those loved ones you've lost. May the Almighty God bring back peace to Nigeria.

NB: ignore all grammatical and typing errors, because I'm now presently in the bush since morning.

It all started after we observed Subhi prayer. After the prayers, I decided to brush up what I read the previous night since I'm having exams by 9:00am. Upon opening my book, I heard a very loud gunshot and before you say jack, everybody was out of the hostel.

Some even had fractures and other injuries during the escape. We all thought that they are going to kill us like they did in Gubja. but fortunately and unfortunately, their target was Mobile police base.

The boys succeeded in penetrating the base where they killed many people, though some of the mobile police ran away from the base and escaped with us.

Let me make something clear, honestly and sincerely, Boko Haram are better armed and motivated than our men in arm, because even from the gun sound, one can identify our gallant men and the terrorists.

shut up your mouth and hide? how are they properly harmed? aint it the same weapons they stole from our army?

Nafeesa's source of info from the NorthEast beats ALL others,even Beegeagle (since Sirius Black went down)! I always wait for her to say something before I comment, because her analysis is OFTEN true thus forms the foundation for further input! Keep it up, Ma'am!

PS: Kudos to our gallant men!
However, in addition to creating a Buffer Zone in Gujuba, what happened to Scout Patrols?
Why were they able to amass on three fronts to storm a City like Damaturu without prior detection?
Why are we still on the Defensive on all fronts despite our recent acquisitions?
Boko Haram attacks typically comes in two waves, this is the First, Are we prepared for the Second wave?(Where they use technicals liberally and field more men)
Good that Birds were scrambled from Yola in good time, but do these birds have the capacity to land 10-20 Special Forces to harass retreating fighters thus inflicting more casualties by slowing retreat?

Yobe has been hit hard by the insurgency! I feel sorry for her indigenes! R.I.P to our Gallant men who fell and any Civilian caught in the crossfire!

Think of Nigeria for one seconds abeg.

Tribalistic monkeys like you believe you're sleek, so you'll accuse someone else of tribalism, as a smokescreen, while you prance in with your own glaring tribalism. Did the person you quoted mention that he's Igbo or that he speaks on behalf of the Igbo? If you had a problem with his post you address him as an individual, but that would not suffice for a tribalist monkey. You had to drag Igbo into your mess at all cost, just to vilify them.
Notice, I don't give a crap where you come from. You are nobody's mouthpiece, and your foolishness here is yours alone.

Abeg God bless the efforts of our soldiers, but we really need to be more on the offensive. Perhaps isolated observation posts and check points make for easy targets for the roving BH elements who blend in with civilians to stake out their positions for subsequent attacks. Nonetheless, they'll have to be able to effect early detection of BH movement with hundreds of fighters moving across a long distance to attack a capital city.
Seems like our gunships are beginning to turn the tide in our favor as they've given us the upper hand in the latest encounters, from what I've read. With our superiority in the air, we should have the advantage not only in combat but in reconnaissance. We won't win this fight by letting them dictate when and where they wish to engage us.
