Boko Haram Retakes Border Town From Army by bishopjoe02(m): 10:23pm On Apr 25, 2015
Maiduguri - Suspected Boko Haram insurgents
have forced hundreds of soldiers to flee Marte,
a border town along the shores of the Lake
Chad, a local official and witnesses said Friday.
"The terrorists, numbering over 2,000, appeared
from various directions on Thursday and
engaged the soldiers in Kirenowa town and
adjoining communities in Marte," said Imamu
Habeeb, a local community leader.
"They fought with soldiers over the night and
the fight continued today (Friday), forcing
hundreds of soldiers to flee," he added from
Borno state capital Maiduguri.
Local fighter Shehu Dan Baiwa said the more
than 2,000 fighters had been armed with bombs
and tanks. "They used the weapons without
restraint and succeeded in killing several
people," he said.
This is the third time Boko Haram has seized
control of Marte in Borno state.
The city is among several retaken in recent
weeks by the military, which has launched an
offensive against the Islamists as part of a
regional operation supported by Chad,
Cameroon and Niger.
But Boko Haram have been fighting back, and
Nigerian troops were also forced to retreat from
Boko Haram's Sambisa Forest stronghold this
week after a landmine blast killed one soldier
and three vigilantes.
A senior local politician confirmed, on condition
of anonymity, that the insurgents had retaken
Marte.
"We lost many (people) because some of our
people that fled to Chad and Cameroon have
return after Nigerian troops recovered the town
recently," he added.
A senior military official confirmed the attack on
Marte, but refused to say whether Boko Haram
had retaken the town, describing the army's
retreat as "strategic".

So let me get this straight.

Rag tag Boko Haram is defeating not only the great Nigerian military, but the militaries of Chad, Cameroon and Niger with assistance of France and America.

If you do not smell a grand deception, then you would believe anything.

This is why I fear General Buhari would be prevented by any means necessary from fulfilling his mandate.

America who is conspiring to disintegrate Nigeria in 2015, is behind the Boko Haram deception, and America knows that Buhari has to be removed before he wrecks their evil plan and expose the genocide committed using the smokescreen of Boko Haram .[/size]

America wanted GEJ to rig but he was unable win despite rigging.

America fakes support for Buhari so that they would not be blamed if or when Nigerians are disenfranchised; and if GEJ loses they would be viewed as supporting the democracy and peoples choice.
