We Saw Helicopters Dropping Arms, Food For Boko Haram – Idps by PhockPhockMan: 12:59pm On Jan 29, 2015
Displaced residents of Monguno, in Borno State, which was recently taken over by Boko Haram, have said they saw helicopters dropping arms and food items for the insurgents in the bushes.

The IDPs, who said they spent about 48 hours in the bush running towards Maiduguri, expressed worry that the Boko Haram sect was not the only ones involved in the insurgency, but that there are many foreign fighters and some external supports.

Leader of the Nigeria Vigilante Group in Monguno, Muhammed Sani,50, said he had, on several occasions, spotted unusual delivery of items in big wooden boxes by air, and sacks being dropped in the bushes around Marte and Monguno where Boko Haram terrorists were camped.

“Even during the attack on Monguno, there was an aircraft that came but did not do anything, not even dropping a single bomb before it left; then another one later came around the Monguno barracks and we saw four men alighting from the aircraft, using a rope. The aircraft left, but we doubt if they were soldiers.

“Even before then, some of my colleagues and I have been sighting helicopters dropping items in sacks and some in boxes to them at the camp of Boko Haram near Chikungudu and Kwalaram villages. Many helicopters came to drop items packed in boxes and sacks to the Boko Haram insurgents at a bush camp between Monguno and Marte; then we would see the Boko Haram gunmen rushing to the spot to pick the dropped items,” he stated.

The displaced vigilante officials said those that attacked Monguno comprised hundreds of foreigners who looked like Chadians.

“Many of them looked like Chadian Arabs – they were light-skinned with coiled hair, and there were many young men from Monguno – who Boko Haram had abducted when Nganzai was attacked last year – that were now active members of the sect.

“While Boko Haram members that are former youths of Monguno were leading other insurgents to attack Monguno town, the foreigners were the ones engaging soldiers near the barracks,” he explained.

Sani, who said he had lived in Monguno for the past 20 years, said he fled amidst the hail of bullets when the terrorists became irritated by his anti-bullet charms that rendered bullets ineffective. His shirt and trousers were riddled by bullets, yet he remained unhurt, he said.

While they will be in one side supporting evil, they will be the other side criticizing and making political fortune out it. HYPOCRITES.
As far as God lives, darkness will never triumph over light.

We already know Boko Haram is getting foreign help and sometimes help from sympathetic commanders inside the Nigerian army.

But, now that they have been bloodied in Kondunga and other areas, why can't we press on with the attack to seek them out and attack their hideouts? Why must we wait for the next attempt to attack Maiduguri before engaging Boko Haram?

Giving Boko Haram the luxury of time to regroup, restrategize and re-launch an attack after they are beaten in the initial attack is one hellishly disastrous strategy of our army high command.

The question is why is Nigerian Army always on the defensive. They have never sustained any offensive attack.

Why?

There is more to this rubbish called Boko Haram

This is not the first nor the last time eyewitnesses have come forward to tell whoever cares to listen that BH are indeed supplied by Aircrafts flying in Nigeria's airspace. Some even claimed it was NA aircrafts....with all these, how can one blame anyone of suspecting Nigerian govt complicity?
