US Report Reveals Nigerian Military Tipped Off Boko Haram About Rescue Mission by realjoker(m): 1:57am On Mar 04, 2015
#BringBackOurGirls
Recent reports from US intelligence sources have revealed
that Nigerian military commanders leaked plans to rescue
the abducted Chibok girls to Boko Haram terrorists which
ended up botching the operation.
On April 14, over 200 pupils were abducted from
Government Girls Secondary School Chibok in Borno State,
sparking an international outrage. In response to the global
outcry, the US sent spy planes to Nigeria to help locate the
girls and a plan was agreed with the military to mount a
daring rescue operation. However, according to two US
Army generals, details of the rescue mission was leaked to
Boko Haram before it could be put into operation, enabling
the terrorists to take preventative action.
As Exclusively reported by NIGERIAN WATCH, a ccusing the
Nigerian Army of treason, the generals revealed that that the
war against Boko Haram was purposefully sabotaged by the
Nigerian government, as if it would not, defeating the
terrorists would not have taken longer than a month.
US sources pulled out from helping Nigeria rescue the
missing Chibok girls after Washington discovered that Boko
Haram had been fed the details of a covert rescue mission
that would involve using gas. Source said that as soon as
the Americans arrived and flew surveillance flights over
Nigeria, they located the girls and proposed gassing the
areas in the Sambisa Forest and then sending in a raid
mission to rescue the girls while their terrorist captors were
paralysed asleep. However, shortly after Nigeria’s security
chiefs were given this plan in high confidence, its details
were leaked to Boko Haram who promptly acted to foil the
plot.
On its next surveillance flight over the area, the US team
saw the Boko Haram terrorists all wearing gas masks. US
agents were very disappointed with this and immediately
afterwards, Washington announced that it will no longer
share information with Nigeria. This was one of the major
reasons why the US gave up on a mission of working with
the Jonathan government and eventually pulled out of the
fight against Boko Haram.
According to military sources, it was this betrayal that led
to Washington sanctioning Nigeria and preventing her from
purchasing security equipment because the US is not
convinced of the sincerity of the Jonathan government.
Since the episode, the US has refused to sell Nigeria
military hardware amid fears that it may end up in the hands
of Boko Haram, although the official reason given was the
human rights record of the Nigerian Army. Since it began its
operations in 2009, Boko Haram has always managed to
infiltrate the Nigerian security forces where it has as lot of
supporters and sympathisers.
Terrorist cells are regularly tipped off about military
missions and have subsequently been able to lie in ambush
for Nigerian soldiers. Of late, however, Boko Haram has
been on the back foot since the establishment of the
regional Multi National Joint Task Force. Because the task
force is made up of regional neighbours Cameroon, Chad
and Niger Republic, Boko Haram has been unable to
infiltrate it, ass their troops have not been compromised.

... and the US never said anything till now
... and the UK only released information now, that what they discovered can not be said because it will damage the ties with the Nigerian government.

Either the West is trying to destabilize the country or GEJ is complacent.

How Jonathan, IBB, Are Plotting Interim Govt Instead Of Presidential PollsDavid Mark, Gusau, Abdusalami, are the top contenders to head the Interim Government. Former Lagos Governor Tinubu rejects offer of Interim Government Vice-Presidencyby Empowered Newswire, New YorkMar 03, 2015President Goodluck JonathanMore details are emerging on the plot to install an undemocratic Interim National Government (ING) and pre-empt Nigeria’s presidential election scheduled for later this month.Informed sources disclosedover the weekend that a key element in the plot is the need to forestall a Buhari presidency, for which reason the schemers of the plot have tried to woo the former Lagos State Governor, Bola Tinubu, now a chieftain of the opposing All Progressives Congress (APC) with the offer of beingthe Vice President in the interim structure.Even though there are now major obstacles to the plan, it is yet unclear if the schemers have completely set the idea aside.If Tinubu accepts, then he will be expected to rally the South-West, while IBB would rally the North, and Jonathan the South-East and South-South to accept the idea of an interim administration. They will use the excuse that the present times are not good to hold elections in the country, especially becauseof what David Mark had already called a state of warwith Boko Haram.But it was Tinubu’s rejection of any form of compromise that now appears to be the greatest obstacle to the ING plot. Sources say this explains the recent outburst of Femi Fani-Kayode, the Goodluck Jonathan Campaign spokesperson alleging that the former Lagos State Governor intends to take over presidential power after the generally-awaited victory of the Buhari-Osinbajo campaign at the polls.Fani-Kayode wildly alleged that Tinubu has entered intoan oath to compel Osinbajo to relinquish the office of VP to him after the election, an allegation and scenario that watchers of the Nigerian polity simply dismiss as both untenable and unrealistic.Investigations spanning over one week by Empowered Newswire on the interim government plot revealed that the two major schemers in the plot are thePresident himself, Dr. Jonathan, and former Military president Ibrahim Babangida.IBB, as he is popularly known, has told close aides that he would have to leave Nigeria the day Buhari is declared winner of the presidential election, a prospect he is working hardto avoid by all means. Jonathan is also said to be under intense pressure to negotiate a soft landing for from power since handing over to Buhari would likely expose the intense corruption that he and the Petroleum Minister Diezani Maduekwe, among others, have perpetrated.In fact the oil minister is said to be one of the hardest protagonists of a soft landing for the Jonathan presidency, mortally afraid of what a Buhari-Osinbajo ascendancy could mean for her.Knowledgeable EmpoweredNewswire sources confirm that IBB held two meetings with Tinubu to discuss the issue of the Interim NationalGovernment. The first was held in Lagos before the Council of State meeting theweek before the February 14elections were postponed. The second took place in Abuja home of IBB’s son on the night of the said Councilof State meeting.The sources said that for the first meeting, IBB told Tinubu he had a wedding in Lagos and would like to usethat opportunity to greet theformer Lagos State Governor. Arriving with his son, he told Tinubu about the need to proceed with an interim government and forget about the election. Tinubu, who was shocked at the proposition, reportedly told IBB to forget the idea.But on the night after the Council of State meeting in Abuja which considered thesubject of the readiness of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to conduct the election, IBB again invited Tinubu to his son’s house in Abuja. At that meeting, former Head of State General Abdusalami was also present, and to the utter shock and annoyance of the former Lagos State Governor, President Jonathan showed up in a two-car convoy in the thick of the night.It was at that meeting that IBB and Jonathan promised Tinubu the slot of the Vice President in the Interim government. The sources say Tinubu promptly repeated his rejection of theidea, insisting that the elections are the best and only viable option to chooseNigeria’s next president andvice president.The interim government plan includes the cancellation of the elections and the imposition of a well-known Northerner as the head of the administration, with Tinubu as VP. The interim government will be put in place for two years, following which new elections would be conducted, with the definiteexclusion of Buhari.Another source revealed to Empowered Newswire that some of the names that have been mentioned as possible heads of the interim government include David Mark, the president ofthe Senate; General Aliyu Gusau, the current Defence Minister who has always wished to be president “even if for a day”; and Abdusalami Abubakar, also a former head of state.All three are known allies of IBB. But the name of formerpresident Olusegun Obasanjo was also thrown into the picture when a formal statement from the presidency signed by Dr. Ruben Abati said Obasanjo himself wanted to be head of the Interim govt.Observers say that formal statement by the president’s spokesperson is the best confirmation thatindeed interim governmentG plot is real. Said one source, “If the presidency is saying they know that Obasanjo wanted to be the head of the Interimgovernment, that means thepresidency is not only aware of such plans, but is also involved in such a plot.”There had been previous attempts including monetary and other juicy offers to get Tinubu to prevent the emergence of Buhari in the primaries, and after that, to have Tinubu dump Buhari and enter into a deal with Jonathan to frustrate the potential emergence of Buhari as winner of the presidential polls.Sources believe that the recent wild allegation from the Jonathan camp that Tinubu was planning to force Osinbajo to relinquishthe office of VP after being sworn-in is merely an outcome of the frustration generated first by Tinubu’s insistence that the elections must go on; his rejection of the offer from Jonathan to be VP of an Interim government for two years; and finally his insistence never to dump Buhari.It is believed that Prof Osinbajo, Buhari’s running mate, has actually never been asked to sign any undertaking or oath of any kind and that he accepted the party and Buhari’s offer to be VP unconditionally. Both he and the APC also over the weekend formally denied any such arrangements.In the absence of a key figure in the South-West to support and sell the idea of an Interim government, sources said options left onthe table is to ensure the elections are “decently rigged” in favor of Jonathan or a crisis precipitated that will lead to Jonathan handing over power to David Mark as the Senate President, as was the case in the First Republic when power devolved to Senator Nwafor Orizu in the absenceof the then President Nnamdi Azikiwe. In that scenario, in 1966, the elected civilian leaders had to voluntarily hand over power to the military.Speculations, backed by a comment by the Supervising Minister of Information Edem Duke, are rife that the INEC chairman, Professor Attahiru Jega, may be asked to proceed onterminal leave sometime this month in line with civil service rules. This option, sources say, would boost the plan to “decently rig the election” in the incumbent president’s favor.But several legal opinions have been articulated that not only will such a move bythe federal government to remove Jega be unconstitutional, it would also rubbish the credibility of the entire electoral process and will result in a definite tailspin into national and international crisis.Interested in Advertising?Sponsored AdEmpowered Newswire, New York#NigeriaDecidesCorruptionPoliticsNewsYou may also like
